Step out of a Twin Turbo Supra, a Porsche GT3 in to a GTR at a road course and then tell me that.

Of the 4 at the TK2k9 Meet None had a single failure.
I can't say that for the 3 Vipers(1 Blown Transmission, 1 Blown Rear end), The 2 Porsche GT3's (1 blew a trans, 1 broke front right suspension),
the 3 Porsche GT3's(1 blew the intake pipes off the motor when he span it, had to pull the motor to re-attach),
the 1 Ford Gt (blew the clutch),
the Loads of supras had numerous failures also (2 many to name).

I've only seen them with CVt's and Powerglides

Turbine engines are very durable, no doubt; just not ideal for the street.

Man; I sound like a GTR fan boy. I hated that car just a month ago. ERr
