Behind 500 hp? I can imagine not very long... :-) This is the brick- 
shithouse, double-o-ringed, turbo 6000 rpm Indy motor... even scaled  
back a bit its likely to break smallish stuff even with skinny tires.

I'm a year off from even paper brainstorming this idea, to be honest.  
The advantage of a front engine rear drive track roadster type  
conventional hotrod is obvious; plus I could use all Rambler  
driveline for added goodness.
