"...spent lots of money and built the car to be able to take what it's given..." the quote no where to be found in Mother's post, not adviseable to put words in peopl'e mouths.

How would you test the lmits of a 2500 lb roadster with 740 HP/640 lb-ft Torque, please do tell lol.

Agree, you clearly don't get it.
Sorry for the oversimplification of my paraphrasing. He stated that he spent lots of money on the car to build it right, but since he knows it's built right, there is no need to prove that it's built right. Again, paraphrasing.

And how do you test limits? Bring it to a track, try it out. Give it some throttle every once in a while. Why build a car to not break parts at that power if you aren't going to drive it in any way that is going to break parts anyway? Besides, according to DCEL, all he has to do is put a 275 drag radial on that car and it should hook just fine!
