Scattered the motor at 6700rpm, isn't that what rev limiters are supposed to prevent? A car making 100hp over stock (we're assuming around 400hp, right?) shouldn't be a grenade unless it's poorly put together or you drive like a moron with no mechanical sympathy. It's too bad he's 19 and still walking around like an open wound, taking a few snaps so seriously he has to flood the internet forums with rebuttals, but you'll have that... At 19 I was driving a 90hp Jetta GLI (first gen, bitches!) and happy to have it, so I guess I'd have been a little more humble about things, not assuming I'd get hugs everywhere I went, but then again we communicated by telegraph and smoke signals back then so...
What was the question? Oh yeah, the kid chose poorly, picked the wholly fail instead of the holy grail... ...and I just farted.
