Uhh, driving a car hard for a few months and saying everything is fine is a GREAT long term reliability test... I rather burn a clutch on a manual over a torque converter or the tiny clutch packs on a auto.

No car is designed to be driven hard everyday. Even the GTR suffered tranny issues from hard launches and that's 10x the sports car a FRS is. No one but the engineers for now know these answers to long term
effects of driving it stupid hard. Owners will find out after a few years.

I am sure your "mechanic friend" could see microscopic wear and tear of a year of hard driving..... Absolutely no science behind these claims.
