i remember reading in whatever C&D it was that they had beat the $hit out of it to get that 4.8
Yeah, I read that too. Something like 14 consecutive launches. But I also remember them saying that it felt no different on the 14th than it did on the 1st and that when asked, the Subaru tech who told them to do the launch that way in the first place assured them it was designed to take it. Still, does make me cringe thinking of doing it repeatedly in my own car.
