"All the forces" are not driven out the bottom in a rear-engine setup. The bottom of the case IS a weak point however, certainly on the ring gear side.

In a Spyder, the pinion gear is on the opposite side of the trans AND behind the ring gear, pushing on the weaker portion of the case ON TOP.

Honestly, if you have a drag car with drag radials or slicks the reinforcement is needed.

With the little street tires we have, the tires will spin long before the torque can load up and crack the transmission case.

AND this appears to be an aluminum Rhino case, which is stronger than the stock Mag cases.
