No best way. You gotta ride out the clutch with these cars, do not dump the clutch. Good R compound tires, PSM off, good suspension, and you have a monster.

I too have an X50 and always figured it the hop as PSM kicking in. I do try to avoid the hop, but what is the best way to launch hard?

OK - that's what I've been doing. Dumped the clutch a few times, got hop - don't like it - so, I just let it out smooth and then WOT.
