They put those Boss 290's in their Falcon's. They also race those babies in the "Australian V8 Supercars" series. Those are not "Purpose built cars. The rear doors open and when they crash, they crumple pretty good. They only run against the GM "Holden" in that series. Pretty intense racing!! When/If you watch one of those races, you'll see that they did upgrade the brakes, of course, and that they just installed a pretty hefty cage inside the car. Even the trunk still has the original bracing. I'll look for the magazine that had an article on that Austrlian Falcon with the Boss 290. Nice looking sleeper ride :D
By the way, The FR500C is available to anyone who has the 130K to buy it. You have to sign specific paperwork stating that you will not try to license that car for the road and that it is a "Racing Purpose Only" vehicle.
