I forget what review I was reading, but people were talking about launching in the 6,000 RPM range...yes this was a professional review. They were also talking about how impossible it was to get a good launch on the stock tires cause of spin..but they seemed to be dumping all of the Tq at once at that RPM level (they still got better than Toyota offical times of course)

You guys beat me with the BTTF references.. One of my favorite movies of all time!
