No need for the HP but I like the vintage, angular styling -- let's presume not based on a current production model?
Then again, I liked the Subaru XT6 back in the day.

I like all the active aero. Pretty funny and badass.

I am sure it is fine, but some of those welds in that cage look terrible.

I work in manufacturing, so stuff like this stands out to me. Like I said, it's probably fine, cages are hard to weld. Just looks like poop even with PC over it. Looks pristine compared to some of the fab work on the HKS TRB-03 GT86.

Probably mild steel cage that was MIG welded for cost/speed

Probably seemless mild tube. You would mig a cage, tig would be wrong application. Just body positioning when welding a tube with a bunch of other tubes coming into it would suck. It's not like a small object where you can just move it so you can be comfortable and have nice access.

Edit: Really any high carbon metal you want to be careful of heating and cooling when you are bringing it within its phase transition temperature or you start ending up with bad grain structures.

I forgot who I am talking to, better cover all my bases
Yes you can mig chromoly. You just have to take some extra precautions and should probably try to normalize the weld affected areas.

Judging by the rubber on the pavement, there were several takes while filming Pastranas video. It must be a nightmare getting cooperation from the municipalities to do those things.
