Why go thru all the work of making a V8 PT? A Stage 1 PT turbo can get up to 450-500hp

I was gonna say 'a nice big modern v8 can pump out 450-500 hp for 100,000 miles.'
But a PT with a V8 in it will only last 100,000 miles by way of some serious frame mods and probably continous loving maintenance.
And you could counter with the arguement that doubling the output hp of the little 4 banger can be done without compromising lifespan.
So how about... V8s sound cool
Burble burble burble....
And put out gobs of low end torque.
(Enough so that if i were doing it seriously, I would just go the expen$ive but reliable route and put a PT shell over a v8 racing chassis.)
