When you're looking at something on the speed of Supercars you can. It takes a lot of work, but it can, and frequently IS, done. And in fact, it's already being done - GT3 cars are built from the roadcar chassis, go just about as fast as Supercars, and are plenty safe and strong.

Is it EASY to do it? NO - anyone who claims it to be an easy thing to do is an idiot. But that does not mean it is impossible, or more expensive.

It all depends on what you're asking of the car. If we wanted DTM speeds, for example, that'd be another case entirely. But we aren't, we're talking Supercars, which run speeds on par with what it's already been proven road-based cars can safely do.
