I drove it like I stole it and I received mostly admonishment.
hmmm... we may have led you a tad astray. A lot of that sort of discussion was about maximizing acceleration with a track focus. Sure I love to rev her, but in built up areas I never get out of 2nd gear, I replaced all the bushings and shift coupler just to improve the 1-2 shift 'cos that's where I spend most my time. 3-4 is just for the track (and the freeway on the way to the track).

You really should track your car. It's a crying shame not to. Wait 'till you try doing this speed into the braking zone of a corner on the track, much more interesting. On public roads there is too much a chance that you could take out an innocent bystander, that would be real hard to live with. On the track everyone understands and accepts the risks. You can push your car much much harder.

Regards,
Andrew.
