Spec on the centerloks are 450#, so I need a 4' torque wrench.
Porsche? Busting out the akshully guy if it is a P-Car the torque spec is 600nm or 442.5 pound feet. But four fiddy is good enough for guberment work and within the tolerance of most every torque wrench and definitely every torque stick.
ETA I know you track cars, if you are changing wheel/tire sets for the track get a torque multiplier 450 pound feet is cake with a good one. Seems weird though when you are using one, it doesn't seem like it is tight enough

Why are you overly torqued about someone else's tight nuts? What's the impact?

My impact wrench shuts down so it doesn’t over tighten or runoff. Then I finish with a torque based on specs.
In 2024 I can’t imagine any other way.

Torque specs are between me and my clapped out truck grandpa

Get a set of torque sticks and use actual impact sockets. Don't be a noob. Bang away.

My Milwaukee M12 3/*" and 1/4" ratchets have been a game changer for automotive work.

It depends on what you're doing. If working on an engine, you will need to torque everything carefully to spec and a torque stick won't be accurate enough. If you're just changing tires, a torque stick might get you by.

It just doesn’t feel right if I don’t sink the screw a full inch into the wood

Impact drill...as in hammer drill?? Do you mean impact driver? Im a carpenter and would rather not risk breaking my wrist every day...so no thanks ill keep using my impact driver

There are impact drivers with 1/4" hex speed chuck and impact wrenches with 3/8" drive up to 2.5". There are no impact drills. What are you even much referring to?

This is how I use my impact although I never realized it until reading this thread.

First I used one was a few years ago I drilled a 3" screw right through a piece of decking board. It definitely made an impact on me.

Only way to get it off.
