I keep my rpms at about 2500 and dump the clutch. that gives me enuf power to jump off but not enuf for the turbo to spool and loose traction. not too long after i get going the turbo spools up and away weee gooo!

i actually launch my auto RS-T in a way i havent seen on this board yet. I shift all the way down to "L", turn off the O/D, rev RPM's to about 3 by power braking, take off with a nice chirp, once i hit about 5500rpm's, i shift it to "2" and at about 5500rpm's again i shift it into "D" 0-60 is way better than just keepin it in drive with no O/D. BTW, once i put the car in "D" i turn the O/D back on.
Anyone else do it like me? just curious..
