Also, to the OP; Don't lump me in with you. "I want more power! I'm a man! Suuuuue me because I'm compensating!" I love low powered cars. Know why? They're fun. Driving slow cars fast is much more fun than driving fast cars slow.

... also, seriously, learn to launch. 4,000 RPM, no traction control, drop the clutch. Don't slip it, dump it. Sticky tyres wouldn't hurt. Be aware this only works so many times before things go bang and make loud clattering noises.

And if you have an A/T? Yeah, you're not going to be able to launch that hard no matter what.

(Personally, I recommend scratching your itches where you're not going to hit some ape in a minivan going through a red, but whatever.)
