This is the difference my friend, between textbook geeks and real world workers.

6k launches? or you mean doing burn-outs? There's in no way in hell you can launch any rwd/fwd at 6k and have a quick time. Atleast not on regular street tires.

I think you missed the point.
Wheelspin is good only when spinning the wheels puts down more power to the ground than not spinning them.
In the G's case, that equilibrium point is fairly low in the RPM band.
In a Honda's case, that equilibrium point is fairly high in the RPM band.
As a drag racer, you of all people should know that there is no set RPM to launch at, as conditions are always different.

You're right, the powerband on G and s2k are totally different that's why they can launch at 6k rpm. I agree that there's no set rpm to launch a G. But I got my best 60' times spinning my tires off the line.

I havn't done any extensive launch studies with the G, but my butt dyno tells me that the best launches out here were with an aggressive clutch slip at around 3000-3500RPM.
I'm not a drag expert =X
On a side note, your 60ft is great for being on street tires... most s2k's doing VTEC launches are between 1.9xx and 2.2xx, but they weigh ~800 lbs less
, so I'm willing to bet your technique is superior to mine
