you are reading too much into it.
how much power does the Z06 make? ~500hp.... the ZR1 makes around 650hp.... CTSv makes around 550hp....
do you think GM is going to put a transmission in there that can juuuuuuuuuuuuust barely support the existing power of the motor?

Also, what a part is rated at and what it takes to break it are completely different numbers. Continuous load, peak load, and shear strength are just three of those ratings. The number you're looking at is continuous load. There is a safety margin built in for manufacturing tolerance also. My degree is in electronics, but I dabble in mechanical.
