......fyi. mentioned in an article, not Ferrari sponsored, bringing the 458 RPM to 3200 for the optimum launch. Coincides with the 80% availability of max torque at that RPM ?

" The generous torque available - 540 Nm at 6000 rpm, with over 80 per cent available from 3250 rpm – ensures rapid pick-up from all revs. The specific torque output of 120 Nm/l is another record."

Tom....what RPM are using for the initial start with launch control. ?

False story/rumor or ? Ferrari refers to the launch control as Power Start , labeled as PS
