Here's how I launch. Clutch all the way then let it out just before friction point, press the gas in a little like 1100 or 1200RPM then continue to let the clutch out, hold for a second, then out completely. 2500 - 3000RPM if i need to get on the road quickly.

rocerfella sorry for not clarifying but my question pertains to sporty/racing launches. not daily driving launches.

although it is understood that launching the car is not healthy it still is a sport car meant to be driven hard.

driven hard. but not abused.

which is why im asking about the proper agressive launch technique.

but so far everyone in this thread is telling me to do the clutch drop. and gas feather. its proven it works.

and if its proven its not "abusing" the car when u drop the clutch then i think i found the technique.

So lauching the car 7K+ dropping the clutch and feathering with the pedal wont hurt the differential?
