I have a 98 coupe that I currently drag race. The car is excellent off the line, mostly because of its weight transfer. However, because of its high torque multiplication (transmission & differential) it does not require hig revs. My best results off the line are achieved when I dump the clutch at about 3000 RPM. Best 60' times to date are 1.90 seconds. This compares favorably to my low 12 second corvette which produced 2.0 second 60' times. In fact, if I rev too high off the line I will produce 2.4 second 60' times. If I bog (by coming out at say 2000 RPM) I will produce 2.0 second 60' times. The bottom line is don't spin the tires, you'll just waste time.
