I know it may sound silly, but I'm always hesitant to really hammer my car in low gear. With a 600 horse all aluminum motor, I keep thinking the half shafts or some other component will break. I don't mean dumping the clutch, just hard runs at low speeds.

Yeah, you're right,.........it does sound silly.

I'm sorry, I'd had a skin full of red wine when I posted the above.

I think due caution is the best bet with most of these cars. They don't forgive very much if you get it wrong.
