What is one thing that you see honda's consistently do on a launch? BOG. It makes me laugh every time, guy will be bouncing off a 9300rpm rev limiter, dump his clutch, and the car drops to 1500rpm and has to work its way back up again. For starters, the automatic wont suffer from that at all. Ill be launching with a 3000 stall and a trans brake so ill be right where I want with torque on the low end for a launch and accelerate rapidly into my power band. I want a 3000-7000rpm powerband, and that is exactly what we designed the motor and cams for and that is exactly what the simulators put out.
As far as what is being planned for traction, 215-225 tires on the front, traction bars, and a phantom grip for the diff. Should be more then enough for roughly 200 ft lbs of torque. We will see what the dyno plots say after its all said and done but if my buddy can catch traction with almost 400 ft lbs on a FWD car on the street, 200 is no problem lol all depends on whether or not the low end power will be sufficient enough to get the 60 ft times down to where I want them.

fyi i had right around 200 lbs of tq in my k24 integra with an lsd and 225 bfg and would still not have traction from a 2nd gear roll
and id love to see 400 lbs of tq in a fwd get traction w/o slicks below 80mph.. imo thats not a "street" car
