You will, because with the gobs of torque there's no need for high revs unless you're in a really big hurry.

How much of the reliability is exaggerated?
Probably 95%.

What are your personal thoughts on the 8AT.
It has two more gears and shifts faster than you can.

How long do you let the car warm up before taking it into the higher RPM.
You want to see the oil temperature hit at least 100 degrees to be sure it's sufficiently thinned.
