This isn't a 6th gen, but I thought some of you would still appreciate this:

I like a variety of drivetrain choices. I wonder if they ever completed the project? Last entry was August '04.
The author mentions many options make power... but all the photos show a stock mopar engine of unknown vintage. Most likely a low compression engine without the vast potential that is mentioned. The quote of 400 BHP make require more money than cam, pistons and cylinder head porting. The power into the thousands "Weiland two stage supercharger, 50psi boost " is not even something to take seriously
The bottom end of stock high mileage motor wouldn't last long with 400 bhp not mention the other silly claims.

But it's a fun look .

I saw another related vid.V8 Celica vid.
It's just a short clip basically with a lot of smoke.
A few modifactions could really work: Sticky street compound tires and wheel tubs would make for good launches and nice top end potential.
