I babied that car and never abused it; I followed the recommended break-in procedure and never went above 4,000 miles until after its first oil change. After the first oil change, I never drove it over 5,000 RPM. I figured I got a lemon, but now, with all of the reports of these things failing on the track and on the street, I'm thinking there are more lemons among 2nd gens than not.
Thanks for the details.

How much oil did it burn through? That seems like an outlier.
