Torque ratings on various components are very misleading.... because it all "depends" --- as in --- what size tires are you running -- are they sticky 200 Treadwear or 600's....
You can't put pressure on components if the tires are not hooking up etc. Personally I like an undersized tire -- it's my "slow blow" fuse.... and keeps me
from breaking stuff... but of course that wouldn't be worth a dang on the track.
If you're talking about a road course... when you say you'd like to track the car -- I wouldn't do an automatic. They're harder to control on the down shift -- and up shift for that matter... When I hammer the MBZ it can really get some power down - but it also has a very sophisticated ECU that rev matches etc.... So if an auto is what you're into -- you might look for that LS motor / auto with factory ECU with rev matching... In order to do that the motor would have to be Drive by wire...
