When winter arrives, get into your daily driver, take it out onto a frozen lake, hit the gas a few times at various speeds. Sudden gear changes or stomping the gas pedal (at pretty much any speed) will become a bad idea pretty much anytime). You'll get the picture pretty quick!

But with that kind of power , if you are on street tires I think it will light them up at will in any gear. 20 m.p.h. roll ons in third should get exciting pretty quickly.

On street tires going WOT requires lots of space in front of you and at least 2 lanes of available space width-wise to allow some "wiggle" room. LOL Have Fun!!!! Be Careful!!!!

THINK before making sudden moves! Be sure the car is 100% straight before getting on it hard, be aware of nearby objects, etc. I'd recommend doing a track day event at your nearest race track where it's safe to play around a little so you can learn your cars potential in a safe environment.

Also if it's not a low band apply, be careful about whacking it in low gear. If it's freewheeling and you stab it, you can roll the sprag.
