Those cars have weak trannies. My buddy had a '97 or so GS-T and was making 430hp at the crank (he beat my '90 FZR600 on the freeway, so believe it) and he told me he purposely didn't get the all wheel drive model because the traction would just break trannies at that power level. He still broke 3 trannies and smoked 5 clutches in the few years that I knew him in college. Trapped in the 120s, but the ET's weren't that impressive because of the FWD.
