Heard lots of complaints about this car and FI.

This is really the first time where I've seen so many complaints about how the transmission gives out....

And you keep mentioning the synchros giving out, so is it FI or is it something unrelated thats screwing up your trannys?
Horsepower has nothing to do with syncros unless there is a heat issue but it's too cold for me to test that now. And I've only been monitoring transmission temps on my most recent one and its lasted the longest. But I've seen first hand 4th gear grenade at 350whp in my friends car and 450whp in my car. Both on street tires. Both rather violently.
