    It was the original Thunder Bunny from 1995, first fully built VR6 rabbit swap, roll cage, everything was done right, built for the track!!! Triangle auto built it in Washington I believe. It's a beast

    I was going to say that this is actually pretty common sadly, but others have pretty much chimed in on that note already. Anything important that's going to be subjected to high pressure, heat, and the elements, should not be made of plastic.
