Most of these exotic $$$ cars develope horse power only at high RPM with their relatively small displacements and have relatively low torque. To get a decent launch, These guys would have to stage at 4000-5000 and then modulate the clutch correctly. To make it short, they don't know how and wouldn't do it even if they did. Dumping the clutch at 4000-5000 to these people would amount to abuse of their "perfect" cars. Lets face it, most are wealthy wimps that like the cars for what they "could do". Not what these pussies are willing to do. Whew. Now was that a rant or what?
