With the Tip torque braking for a quicker launch the engine is reving much higher than idle. How is this handled by the tranny...where does the power before the launch go.

It shouldn't be a problem, you can't rev too high.
But of course I wouldn't do that three or more consecutive tries one after the other. Once or twice and then let it go for a while. I know it is annoying and I expected more from Porsche but apparently they changed their mind. Talked yesterday to a technician and he suggested that the acceleration from standstill will improve significantly with the mileage on the car. I already can feel a bit of improvement but still, not what I expected and experienced on earlier cars.
This is actually my ONLY complaint about the TIP: the acceleration from standstill.

The power goes into the torque converter in the automatic transmission (no interlocked gears like in a manual gearbox, just fluid coupling which is designed to slip). Drag racers have been doing this with American cars for decades...
