American Racing Headers in Deer Park, New York is building a project called the “PriuSRT8″ which involves a Toyota Prius and a lot of power. There is very little left of the Toyota Prius besides the outer shell. The car rides on a NHRA certified tube chassis with a lot of custom metal fabrication due to the excessive modifications. Power will come from a 6.2 L Hellcat V8 that will produce 1,000 horsepower thanks to a 4.5 L Whipple supercharger. Behind the engine sits a Tremec Magnum six-speed transmission and Ford 9” rear end built by Midwest Chassis.

Thats not a prius. That is a tube chassis with panels that look like a prius.
Thats like saying some NASCAR drivers race with a Toyota Camry.
They Prius body panels on a tube chassis, not panels that “look” like a Prius. They were not fabricated by anyone but made by Toyota. You’re welcome.
So its a tube chassis with prius panels to make it look like a prius. Thanks.
I’d still call a ’32 Ford body on a custom chassis a ’32 Ford.
I can’t see that this is much different.
Except thats an actual body, not a facade.
Zeed is just jealous that his Camry can’t beat your prius anymore
