your question should be, how to properly launch, and if you do a search you will find your answer. you aren't the first to be unable to figure out an optimal way to launch
You can have two cars, and one may be able to go 0-60 faster than the other one, but the one with the slower 0-60 may have a faster 1/4 mile time. So like I said, 0-60 means nothing.

Fyi the 60ft mark is pretty crucial in a 1/4 time......... how you launch the car affects how our e/t will end up dramatically. if you bog/spin the tires theres a world of difference. I'm sure I've heard/read several factors that .1 in the 60ft is equal to .2 difference in the e/t.
Search albertos vids. he seems to have one of the best launchs for the Z that i've seen.

I disagree that 0-60 doesn't mean "nothing". It's a measure of your 60' time and you ability to launch the car. Given the same car, the same track, and the same driver, that with the better 60' will most likely have a better 1320' time.
