Meaning that you would not be dealing with an inherently unstable platform due to excessive power. Now I know that folks will say that they can control their right foot. But from experience, I will have to say that they cannot
OK, maybe I am looking at this from a different point of view. If you have a HP curve that gives you 300 HP at 3500 RPM and 500 HP at 6500 RPM, anyone should be able to shift at 3500 RPM. It doesn't take that much skill.

If it is a problem, set the rev limiter to 3500 RPM for your street driving.

When you track your car, reset the rev limiter or shift where appropriate.

My 2 cents.
