Worry about getting it first, then worry about lauching it....better yet try this crazy technique---> Look up at the right top corner of your screen and hit the SEARCH button, works pretty well

Make sure you don't turn off traction control either. It really helps the car get going.

what are you kidding? turn off tcs or else you get little power.

this is a skill you'll have to practice. you can't just take one person's word. it varies car to car and driver to driver. your tires, the temp, etc will affect your launch. just practice if you get the car.

here's what i do on street tires:

drop tire pressure to about 25-27 psi, do a quick burnout, rev to 2500 rpm, then drop the clutch and mash the gas...

any recommendations from people who know more about this than i do?

just a note, w/o the burnout, i find that 1500-1700 rpm drop with full gas will get me a slight chirp and no bogging

I feathered at 2000rpm with 10.5 275s on the rear and nearly lost traction. Dumping the clutch would have been an ugly burn out. As for turning off the traction control, you may get murdered in a race imho.
