I had a CR (Series 1 1992 build, may have been one of the last 3?) that was brought as a roller in 92, I brought it 2016, 60% complete when I got it. It had a 65-date coded 427S/O with TKO-600 5-speed, and SVO 8.8 Rear end, with harden 'Strange' ? axles. 526HP @ flywheel, a friend that owns 'Old School Garage' in Port Orchard Wa. got the car up & running, (he was the crew chief for Bruce Leven on his 934/935 Porsches in the day) He told me don't worry about frame it will handle what you have, leave the limiting factor your tires (Cheaper to replace) which I did with M/T ST's 275-60-15 rears. Body & Frame on CR are IMPO top notch.

Back on the topic of the original question. I'll second that. The cars have more power than can, in way too many cases, be safely transferred to the ground.

To answer the question "How much HP can these frames Handel [sic] ?" another answer is "a lot more than you can".

Q: "How much HP can these frames Handel [sic]?"

A: A lot more than the tires can.
