I have a stage3 1996 Aero 5-spd with approx 275hp, and as the review indicated....2nd gear obliterates the tires when just accelerating (not dumping the clutch) and 3rd is really where the stuff happens.
The weak link is the transmission. The automatic is weak to start with, and beating it is NOT a good idea. The 5 speed is stronger, and will take punishment, but you absolutely CANNOT dump the clutch, or burn out whatsoever. Burning out, resulting in wheel hop / chatter from the front end can kill a brand new transmission on the spot. Use the power wisely, get into the power when you are already rolling, and you can have a LOT of reliable fun, for cheap.
