Chassis twisting concerns w/ N54 power gains?

With massive power gains becoming more and more commonplace on the N54 platform, have we considered what the torque limits might be for our unibody e9x's?

Eh, we're not at those torque levels yet. Once Tony gets the big twins spinning, hopefully we'll start to inch towards the 800-900WTQ level. But for now it's not a concern IMO.
