You are hardly abusing it. You are driving it as it was built, engineered and now modified, to be driven. The car is very well built and the mods you have made are time tested and true.
I'm an acceleration freak. Out of 10 stoplights, at least two takeoffs are going to result in a slow takeoff till about 15 mph, then briskly and smoothly applying more pressure to the grin pedal . Also, I kinda like cruisin in my sweet spot (around 35 mph) so I can hit it, making it drop to 1st and holdin it till about 60. Its speeding in the city, but not an exceedingly dangerous speed. I get the most grins and waves from kids that catch that in action
But I've never been a curve carver. Growing up I always heard how so and so lost control in a curve, so I don't try it. But I'm sure she could handle it
I drive with the flow of traffic here in San Diego. Which means that sometimes I'm doing 35.... and other days I'm doing 90 on I-8 and getting passed by city busses.
The same, only in Houston...........when it flows! To many morons here!

Occasionally I'll do some spirited driving, mainly on the nice deserted backroads that we seem to have so many of around here. Got to get her out every now and then and blow off the dust.
