my celica's rods have been tested at 700whp without breaking and it was designed as a 160 whp na chainsaw...
subaru also has great reliability, my best friends brother has a 600whp STI that likes to destroy transmissions, but the engine itself hasnt broken down and has run at boost for 85,000 miles...
yeah interior quality might be a bit cheap on these cars but drivetrains are pretty much bullet proof as long as you dont drop the clutch from the fuel cut

Last year, I picked up a Supra with 256k miles. It was a TT 6-spd, and it was tip-top, even though the previous owner tracked it. My brother and I single turboed that sucker and made 450 or so reliably for another 2-3k miles til we sold it. The only thing wrong with that car was torn leather seats.
The Supra was a godly creation.
