If you guys take off from a stoplight, what do you usually launch it at? I know the torque band isnt as fat as.... say an E36 M3. I know the M3's will launch pretty good between 2-3k rpm... with the best launch being around 2700rpm... imo... but I have tried launching the M5 from 2000 and it just bogs down, my brother tried launching his around 2700 with close to the same results. What would you guys recommend? And this is of course not something I would do very often. Its just to embarrass the occasional stuck up Mustang driver....

Thanks in advance,
Danny
