I don't remember anybody here complaining about frame failures, including people with heavily modified cars. I've seen photos of failures in BMWs, and that's all I can think of.
Lil off-topic, but I've stated this in earlier here, but a ton of Japanese shop who race using 86/BRZ complained about weak frame... some shop have broken rear frame before. This is why Toyota/Subaru have reinforced the rear chassis on Kouki86.

Anyways, I'll go back keep eating popcorn
