Exclamation What's the best way to run in the 8

What's the best way to take off in the RX-8 for the best 0-60's or 1/4 miles times?

Motortrend got:

0-60 5.9 sec
1/4 Mile 14.5

I've heard that you need to launch it at 8000RPM but that seems kinda high to me. Is that correct? I have no rotary experience so I got no clue what is the best way to launch a high RPM car?

Do your drag racing with a car that's better suited for it. You'll be happier and there'll be one less person posting, "I want more torque!"

Sheesh, I almost sound like Ike. Where is he when we need him?! :D
