its not an issue.
Ive had it for 4 months, done 30 passes, drive agreesive, and have purposely done low rpm testing to see how it would handle it, and its done so fine.
In the case of racing however think of it this way EEboh,
After first gear, when he shifts he goes to what, 4500-5000 k rpms, at that point his torque curve in like 260 at the wheels, not 340 like it is at 3300 rpm. It only ever sees the high torque for a fraction and i mean fraction of a second in first gear. After that its very normal usable levels that wont harm anything.
As a precautionary measure he keeps his ams tranny cooler on for hours at the track as well

exactly, you have had it "only" for 4 months. I am in no way trying to bring the RA down, cuz I have owned one myself, great car. BUT there has been plenty of horror stories with the tq limit being in the low 300's. Clutches start slipping after time, limp mode etc. **** it's even an issue with the MR's if you don't have the clutch packs. By all means, keep driving agressive as you please, I just don't wanna hear of another horror story for such a good car

I might do the same. Ever since i got tuned the car feels wrong in Normal mode but i figure its better for gas milage. Sport mode on the other hand feels so right. I jus wish it could be tweaked to stay in Sport mode when the car is turned off.
