Now, I never had my car on the racetrack, and I had the wheels alignment checked and they were slightly off. The shop manager is telling me that because the tire softness rating is 140, that 6,000 miles is normal for this tire. Is he snowing me?

Yes he is snowing you big time. I had -2.5 rear camber and my rear RE050's lasted 8k miles (with a lot of sideways corner action). My front RE050's have -1.4 camber and 2 track days and are now ready to be replaced at 16k miles. Under normal alignment and driving the stock RE050's should see 20k+ miles easily.
