Wheel speed is what gets a car down the track quick, not rpm. Now I am generally talking about cars with pretty big power.

Thats what I'm talking about too. i dont see how a moderately powered car (500 to 700 hp)will benefit from a switch to only 2 speeds. Its easy too see the problem with wheel speed in your scenario...but first you have to have the power to overcome the chassis. I would guess that any car with a 1000+ hp (like Andys) will have the power/wheel speed to overcome a chassis on launch. on calming down the launch, that has always been the conventional wisdom..i dont see the error in pointing that out.
