A whole lot of those failures took place in cars that were getting raced, turbo'd and all the rest. Since it was all new to the people doing that, none of those count against the car, at least IMO. CR is FOS. Did they post the data that lead them to that conclusion or did they just get that by lurking here and reading the "hate" thread?
