No, that's the highest I've ever launced at. I did some experimenting with lower RPM launches, but it tends to bog a little at anything below about 3500 - 4000. There's just so much grab with the quattro, that if you don't get a little spin, it tends to choke for a second until the revs come back up.
Believe me, I very rarely launch the car from 0 mph anyway. My most fun comes in the twisties, not at the lights. But, it was fun to see what it does when you really try to come out of the hole as quick as you can.
