    Now burning clutch, thats a different story. My guess is that 3000rpm was chosen to avoid clutch slip, and to prolong clutch / drivetrain life.

    My old WRX didn't like me dropping the clutch from above about 4000rpm. There's nothing like that burning clutch smell when you stop at the next set of lights!
    Should've explained myself better. I agree that there's not much chance, BUT - if you do launch from say 4500-5000rpm, you may (depending on how grippy the surface is) get a tiny about of wheelspin and then the car will regain grip and bog down. It's either that or slip the clutch to the keep the revs up OR have enough power to keep the wheels spinning a bit, which would be very difficult with a 50/50 split, if you had something like 30/70 it'd be easier. As you said, 3k was probably chosen as a balance of slip/life.
