Well yes, having more power is going to cause more parts to break. Having more moving parts (AWD) is going to cause more parts to break. Also, for people who drag race, in order for them to click off good times...they have to launch the piss out of it. Obviously that is going to cause lots of stress on parts. However, in engineering, there's this stress analysis called cycles to failure. Honda motors rev pretty high, and go through more cycles than others. You'd be surprised, high rpm actually probably causes more stress than power. The slightest vibrations at high rpm can cause lots of stress on an engine.
