Most of the issues can be rectified with regular maintenance, although the amps are a common failing on the std system, so the WS kit adds another.

Why do you always jump on ANY topic about ANYTHING my company produce and try to slag it off? Its becoming really tiring now mate.
To answer your point:
The standard system needs plug gaps dropping so low that it compromises efficiency if you run anything over about 300bhp as the cylinder pressures are so high teh standard voltage system cannot jump the gap.
Think about that mate... we had to drop the manufacturers gap down to make teh system work AT ALL. Are youn sure it was up to the job?
Your millions of standard cars example is also more than a bit pathetic, show me millions of 300bhp + 2 litre 4 cylinder cars running fine with a distributor cap please.
Why do you think ZERO manufacturers have produced a car without WS or coil on plug for, what, 20 years? Longer?
Why do you think at Santa Pod the only cars you ever hear missfiring embarassingly up the drag strip are the old high power Cosworths?
Why not GT4's, Scoobys, GTO'S, Golf GTi's and Lancers of the Same Era?
I have stated my case as to why WS is better, so please tell us why I am wrong.
As for Ignition amplifiers being a common failure point, your wrong, no they are not. I think I have fitted about 25 in the last 15 years.
I suppose your going to tell us all that you have a GT35 running with a distributor cap and rotor arm with 0.75mm plug gaps arent you?
