Not a suprise really; roll back into boosted up launch before the start is not the best for the gearbox.
Sounds like the guy needs a shift light as well, but it was a pretty nice car though; plenty of power!

Damn the guy doesn't know how to drive... He kept hitting the rev limiter for a good second everytime...

That would be because the wheels are spinning! If he shifted up as soon as he hit the limiter with the wheels spinning that much he'd either get even more wheelspin (and so less traction) or it would grip, the engine would bog, drop below turbo range and be slow as fuck. :roll:

Yeah, with high powered FWD cars like that, holding it at the rev limit is the fastest way alot of the time.

That deffinately sucks for him. Is it a hatch? and i assume he's running an LS trans in it, but have. Just curious on specs.
