That can also be subjecitve. Sure a 1200 hp big single big block would put a beefed up V160 in its place.
If there are reports of breaking sub 400wtq (which would be rare around here). Then its weak.

It is what it is. People with S2000s, RX7s, Silvias/240sxs, etc. break transmissions at that power level (or less) too.
For most of these small, light cars, there are no cheap options. It's either Getrag V160/161, Tremec Magnum (which I haven't really seen being used with small displacement, high reving engines, but is the cheapest and probably the strongest option), or $$$$$$ aftermarket GForce/Quaife/Holinger/Hewland/etc. dogbox/sequential racing transmissions.
I know some 240sx SR20DET guys use 300zx transmissions or 350z/370z transmissions, but those have issues too...
This is one thing that has been making me think about going to an LS swap for my 240sx.... the price and availability of a strong, smooth shifting transmission in the Tremec Magnum...
