It really doesn't feel all that stressful on the car either. Nothing like the Porsche Carerra PDK wheel hopping starts I've read about. 4500 RPM sounds like too much.

what do you mean by "planting"?

when i launched mine on a test run on a back alley, i also found that 3k is a good rpm to quickly release the clutch. 4.5k might cause unnecessary wheel spin.
