If you're talking about running the revs to 3500 in neutral and then slamming it into drive, I'm going to advise against it in the strongest possible terms.

On the other hand, if you have some passionate hatred for your driveline and are hell-bent on depositing your transmission's innards at an intersection, then I retract the above.

Best way to launch you car is to mount on some slicks and powerbrake.
