Nope. Redline is the max RPM. Max power comes way before redline.

I think since you guys know he was doing a burnout you assume it was from that. Parts could be on there way out and the extra strain makes them break. In this case it was your 2nd set of axles. Common sense says you are messing with the car. I am sure legally if you have time you can argue and might get them replaced again with a warning saying you break them again you pay. I have only seen axles break from a car pushing 800whp on stock axles. If your stock and snaping them your doing something wrong, unless the stock 350z axles are weak! I doubt they are given the car is rated "sports car".

we had similar problem with G35 where he claimed he was burning oil. then 2 days later someone videotapes him at an auto cross bouncing off the rev limiter. bye bye free engine
Something tells me that an individual incapable of spelling "warranty" or "axle" might not have the strongest chances in court to begin with in this particular instance.

Breaking a part, especially more than once, that is essentially unbreakable under normal use, is in itself proof of abuse.
For some cars its called the A LEMON (IF purchased NEW) If dealership can't keep the part from failing.More then 3 times I think.They have to replace the car. IT also varies by state I believe to.

Although this kid has proven its not a Lemon its the drivers fault.They can;t prove otherwise,unless someone has PROOF.
