actually, are cars DO have a frame. Secondly, he was worried about his frame twisting from putting on a bigger turbo, so i assumed he meant from the extra power while drag racing, which it will never twist from. Obviously the frame will flex a little during cornering and road racing, and in that case struts and sway bars are a good idea.
no our cars do not have a solid frame as in an older car or a truck. do this jack your car up and tell me if you see two solid U beam frame rails connected by crossections going from the front bumper to the rear bumper of the car with the body axles everhting attached with rubber bushings. you wont you will see a subframe where the motor compartment front suspension is than you will see the unibody constuction from the firwall back we have a subframe to a full real frame.

this argument is completely irrelevant for the original post.

but if you are so sure of yourself, perhaps you can explain why the factory repair manual refers to it as a frame, ex "put the jack stand under the frame, disconnect the bolt from the frame etc."?

because factory manuels are made to make it easy if they said subframe the stupid people would get confused got to make it easy on the consumer. how about this call any autobody technician/engineer. ask them.
