Default c6 convert twisting??

A silly friend from work came up to me today and told me that a friend of a friends cousin has a c6 with a TT setup. At this point I already dont beleive him, lol.
He told me that his door jams dont line up anymore bc of the extra power. Is this a concern if I plan on going FI soon? Im not planning on slicks either.

Thanks

I'd take that story with a grain of salt. If the said car is true he is more likely going to be losing traction rather than hooking so well that it twists the body. Don't let him scare you. You will not have any twisting issues once you go FI.

Nonsense...
My vert is supercharged and the platform remains rigid and true under WOT. But then I'm still a bit "scared $Hitless" of the power so 5,000 rpm remains my limit to date
