Back when I bought my Supra I could have bought a brand new Mitsubishi Mirage with the idea of swapping in some Lancer AWD Suspension/Driveline but when I compared the 2 cars based on their dynamics the Supra won hands down as no matter how fast/agile the Mirage would have been it would still...
Used to do the same thing with manual shitboxes ;)
(Pull the e-brake to lock the rears select reverse lots of revs drop clutch and e-brake = mucho smoke and laughter)
Ummmm as I said the Tq Converter cushions the drivetrain from any shock loads.
Back in the 80's I had a fairly new car (3 yr old) that I used to routinely drop into R at 30mph....... Never had a failure just LOTS of smoke from the rears.

Have a fast accident into something solid and you're dead just like anyone else.
