[s-cars] Re: wrt pushing RS2 to the edge...

[TM]

That's a good explanation, although I think it was the loose nut
behind the wheel! :-)

No, but seriously, a bad harmonic dampener would definitely do that.

Yes, I know it was fixed- twice. :-)

Liar! :)

I think the problem wasn't so much boost as long exposure to high RPMs
with a bad harmonic balancer, allowing the crank pulley to wobble and
eventually shear off the key.

p.s. Sandy, I fixed that too, I swear
