People i know have never had the problems people claim, and i know i think 5 people with pulsars.
Even running 100s of times at Santapod and getting mid 12s with 1.6 60fts (so mega hard launches) they seem to do fine.
Granted, they not huge power, but even 300bhp in one of them is quite a weapon
Maybe theres a knack to driving them fast without fucking the box
