He's not clear, but I get the impression that he's going to a drag strip to run 1/4-mile standing starts, not rolling starts. There's a giant difference.

I swear there was a sticky about drag racing, but I don't see it up there. Still, using the search function he'll find plenty of advice about drag racing.

For rolling starts in the M3, have 4,000 rpm or more on the clock is critical. The torque sucks below there, but it's nice an flat all the way up to 8400 after you pass 4-grands.
