Aero will get you to where you want to be, as you already appear to know. Best of luck!
Well I've been the one owner. I've never peeled out, dumped the clutch, or had it above 75 mph it's whole life. I'm still on the original clutch, starter, alternator, radiator, engine and transmission, everything else has pretty much been replaced (hoses, belts ect). I do keep up on maintenance. Besides maintenance I think a lot of it has to do with how you drive the car. If you're driving it like a 911 turbo, an Daewoo Aveo isn't going to last. Also having 80% freeway miles help.
