It's very interesting when you cut these things open to see the engineering that goes into the structural integrity of the unibody. These cars are truly built to withstand significant forces. Something I've unfortunately tested.

Well it was an autocross with the guy maybe going for broke and finding such.

somebody did that engine damage in the youtube video at an autocross? Man I hear people just pegging the limiter all the time, usually in miatas, but have never heard of an engine dying that way. Now downshifting into the wrong gear and over-revving that way is a sure way to grenade an engine...
