People who raced the cars on a track have had the problem and also "driving hard" is a general term. I'd say if you drive the car "hard", then expect issues to come up. "Hard driving" = abuse.

If someone rolls a Tour at a track and totals the car, is it Ford's fault?


You split up my term wrong I said "driving hard to the right," meaning "driving, hard to the right" as in making a sharp right turn. Although I do understand your point too, 5000 (or was it 5500?) RPMs generally signals what people around here like to refer to as "spirited driving" .. which can be taken as abuse
