Torque converter durability?

[Orguss]

My SHO has around 13,400 miles on it. When I purchased it, there were 225 miles on it. Since purchase, I tried very hard to be good for the first 1000 miles but would romp on the gas from a stop light every so often, especially when showing people my new ride. Very few drives go without some hard acceleration. I'm basically driving it like it's a rental. I'm starting to calm down now, but still manage to get on the gas every so often.

Now, maybe I'm being super nitpicky but it feels like there's less acceleration. I wonder if I've gotten used to it or if my torque converter might be slipping more than usual. Am I losing my mind or is this something that's a possibility? If so, is there some way the dealership can run a test to see what remains of the lifespan of the torque converter?

I suspect you're getting used to the car and that's why it doesn't feel as peppy. There's also a chance the adaptive strategies have started to tame down the responsiveness as well. Every several months I find myself resetting the Keep Alive Memory (KAM) from my scan tool to get my car learning my driving style again. This could be in my head, but the car seems a lot more peppy for several miles after resetting the KAM.

If torque converter was slipping excessively, it would throw code. So yes you are just probably just getting used to it, plus the car adaptiveness mention above.
