I regularly get to tinker with cars that have 800 to 1200 ft-lb of torque. I don't play with the big boys that run up to 5000 or so ft-lbs, maybe more, I don't actually know. The point is, when you ask a drag racer what happened while they're stood there holding a driveshaft the resembles a pretzel their answer is always the same. It's never "too much torque", it's always "too much grip".

There's no such thing as too much torque, there's only too much grip, or not moderating your use of it properly. Learn to use the tools you've paid for properly and maintain them right and everything will be fine. That applies to more than just this car.
