Quoting from his book (The Unfair Advantage), Mark Donohue states:
“Dr. Fuhrmann had told me once that the car couldn’t be broken, as long as it wasn’t over revved and as long as it was shifted correctly. And it was really quite true. I always liked those cars, because they could be driven hard without worrying about breaking anything. They’re so strong and so well engineered, that there isn’t much a driver can destroy but the gearbox. The Carrera is – without a doubt – the very best off the shelf production race car available at any price. At least as long as there’s a competitive class to race it in. And Roger was going to make that happen. After listening to me for a while, he decided maybe I was right.”
...that's why.
