Need some Track advice, Please....

Launch control is a nice thing, but what if you have a 6 speed?
What would be the right procedure for a fast launch from 0, without backing or breaking the clutch? What is your way, how would you rev the rpm before start, would you let the clutch go fast, etc.
To be honest I do roll first and than put the pedal to the floor when the car is already moving (I don't want to break anything, and so even with a flashed car that is no fast start.) Any advice would be appreciated....

I thought that this is a stupid question, but is it that stupid that nobody can answer?

Not sure. I've never been sufficiently interested in abusing the car in order to try and get a mid-3 second 0-60 time.

Not a stupid question at all, I usually rev to 2K and let clutch engage. Once fully engaged I floor it! I've only had this turbo for 2 months and I'm still not the best at the speed shift from 1st to 2nd.

I'll focus on the tach next time. I usually do it by engine sound, but its probably around 2-3 K. Let the clutch go really fast as you floor it. I dont slip the clutch a whole lot which is why my clutches last forever.
