Drag racers/street hooligans: How do you launch your GT 6MT?

Can you describe your launch technique? I have never been much of a drag racer so any tips would be appreciated.

I understand that you want to have just enough spin so as not to bog the engine...but not so much spin that you don't regain traction almost immediately. This is obviously a delicate balance.

It seems that with cars like our GTs, especially BBP cars, wheel hop makes this almost impossible.

Thanks for any insight!!

You have the idea......now practice....carefully with the traction control in all three different options.

Have you upgraded the LCAs to eliminate wheel hop at all?
