I agree with the premise of your entire post. People who just want to mash the throttle at any time have never driven a powerful car before. They might *think* they have, but nope.

However, I have no idea what you're talking about 2nd gear traction. If I bury the throttle in 2nd gear like you describe at 2500 rpm, the tires let go at about 3500-4000rpm. I literally just tested this to get the RPM value where I lose traction.

Since the day I picked up the car from the dealership a year ago until today, I have never had enough traction to floor it in 2nd with the stock MPSS tyres.
