Is it? I can't get a straight answer from anyone.

I've also heard something about data logging on the 2011s?

So, good friend of mine has torn down about 15-20 wrecked engines, talked to the drivers, etc. Every single one was redlined cold, etc. Several of them were taken out autocrossing straight off the lot and left pinging on the limiter. A couple of them followed the "easy" break in called for by the manual...


Not one of them did a proper break in....more to the point, he's only seen 1 11+ go down, and I've only heard about the 11s having problems from people on here whose "friends" have issues.
