Supercharged 6.2-liter mill is cleanly separated from the secondary cats and driveshaft on, suggesting damage originated from underneath.

You have to know when to use that 650HP. Obviously this person didn't!

The passenger compartment looks to be in pretty good shape. Maybe these should have air bags in the engine compartment.
This is exactly why people like me shouldn't have one of these. They are better for those who exercise self control.

Motors get knocked out more times than one would think. Driving a wrecker out on calls, you see all kinds of weird stuff. 🤯
If you had good self control.....you wouldn't need 650hp! 😁 I got in enough trouble with 400hp or less.

A guy I knew here put a 390 Ford in his Jeep CJ. He told me it was a good thing that that someone like him had it because he had so much Jeep experience. The next day he he was taking people for rides and hit a power pole. The engine went several yards past the pole. The jeep didn't. The passenger was killed and the driver was turned into a child with no memory.

When you think about it, it's not like there is a whole lot holding a motor in place. High speed, add a couple barrel rolls......

Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn
