Default damn, I can launch at 6k with no spin.. gotta love Quattro.

I did it in a Passat V6 FWD manual. No problem.

Default the correct rpm to launch your front trak that I have found is between 2300 -2700 rpm depending on
the tires you have. I like anything above about 2500 rpm, because the car doesn't bog down as much it seems. You may loose more traction initially but the rpm drop is decreased greatly. 4000 rpm is way to much.
