Ah, not a monster truck then. I was wondering how he would have achieved that!

Its not really a souped up C5, its just the body stuck on a Honda dirtbike, anybody could do something like that. Now if he had utilised the original chassis and engine that would have been something unique. I once made a z650 into a z900 but with a Gpz1100 engine, that was different and stuck a 3l V6 Essex engine into a MK1 Escort

How about if he'd turned it into a Hybrid.

Especially as the seats weren't bolted down properly. Actually it handled better than the Capri, Escorts always did and I did upgrade everything else which is more than most boy racers do, new suspension, larger brakes, LSD, etc...
