You've also got to take into account tractive effort. This encompasses weight, tyre contact patch, grip and torque.
I have a Cosworth engined Westfield with 205/50/15 medium compound 888s with circa 400lbs/ft of torque and it weighs 630kgs. Personally I think it's easy on its gearbox.
Well said, loads of torque through grippy tyres, good diff, correct suspension and lots of weight will kill a box much faster than a car that can spin it all away...tractive effort is a great term!
I took 3rd gear out of mine and smashed a diff with a good strong 350 set up. No idea how much torque it had but I was on coil overs and r888's as well

Yeah, good suspension set up and sticky tyres make a huge difference, those r888s up to temp really do hook up
