If a transmission handles stock HP and TQ, that doesn't make it strong, it makes it adequate. You don't reward employees for just doing their job do you, you reward the ones who go above and beyond. If a tranny doesn't live under stock HP and TQ no matter HOW you drive it, it's a POS. My guage for a transmission is how it holds up as you start modifying. Of course there will be failures, but what makes a tranny strong is how long they last under abuse.
Any stock tranny with an "adult, I'm scared to push the right pedal to the floor" driver should last, what, you want a cookie?? It's obvious to me that you know everything, eventhough by the sounds of things you don't even mod your car, so I guess I might as well just give up this argument now.
Am I arguing with a retiree?? because I don't have that kind of time.

This is not an argument at all. 
You just keep modifying all of the transmission you can
You can't leave a good thing alone without messing it up can you? so you are modifying the car which is why you have so many problems and failures with all these transmissions and cars . You must be alot more intelligent than the engineers who designed the car and there you go changing everything messing everything up. Bubba at work
so after you mod a transmission or anything you can get your hands on it doesn't work no more and you call it unreliable. It's a good thing for you to go down to the track and drive your car to the ground then you can blame the manufacturer for not making a reliable car because you made it that way by messing it up and running it to the ground But that is a good thing since we don't have to deal with your driving on the public streets one less to deal and more valuable space for others to drive : I must say I would feel sorry for any person who bought a used car from you one of your joe blow generic cars they wouldn't know where to start and when the repairs end since everything is mixed up or not running correct. after you get done with it, it is no longer a GM product

But I'd rather be fast then safe.

Wow lots of flame tossing. I put down 443hp to the rear wheels with my A4 and intermittently bang it (not for track reason just having fun) but push it to 6500rpms and have zero issues with it for over 17k miles. Any mechanical part will fail including the A6 and the MN6 etc if you bang it hard. Sounds like every time a new product comes out it is automatically better. Maybe when the A7 comes out the A6 will be the piece of crap. Guess I'm just lucky with my A4 and hate the shifting crap anyway but will do that manually on my A4 again with zero issues so far. There is a video that has a blown A4 doing 10.85 in the quarter and seems to be doing ok too. Top each his or her own I say and they are all Vette no matter what the model or style.
