um yes it is driven frequently actualy...
maybe he doesnt put 30k on the car a year but he does drive it frequently.
the bottom line is that a lot of those other cars that blew their engines werent daily driven and still blew their **** up...
so what does that say?

stasis 4:1 diff isnt the best for drag racing when making a lot of power...
even my ko3 car can spin the rear tires on the 1 to 2 shift, so with a gt's its a lot worse, through all the gears.
it just sends too much power to the rear wheels when shifting hard.

Show me other cars that weren't driven frequently that blew up? VAG GT's car?
They drove the living **** out of that engine. Added more power and then eventually popped it. Who else has a GT car that's blowing engines that isn't driven frequently?
Lastly, why was this car trailered to the track if it's driven all the time?

well maybe this car is a good example of what the engine can handle.
you have to realise that this car has competely different hardware and tuning then any other gt kit out there.
but like i was saying, maybe this is just a great example of what great hardware and tuning can do...
ps. if i could trailer my car to the track i would, no questions asked.
