Generally, this seems to only happen on Sciroccos with
high output motors (120+ ?) - anyone out there have
experience to counter this idea? (very curious)

It never has happened to me (7 Sciroccos since 1977) -
the most HP I've had is probably near 110hp.

I have some literature that suggests that when VW
engineers designed the chassis in the early 1970's,
they designed it to handle up to 120 hp . . .
