Fastest launch is really easy, and very hard on the clutch.

Its all done with the left foot. You have to modulate the clutch.

Rev to 6500k. Let the clutch out until you feel it start to grab. As soon as you start to move, floor the throttle and leave it there. From then on, it's all clutch. Feather the clutch and Try to keep the revs in th power band, 5-7k rpms, don't smoke the tires and don't bog down so you are out of he power band.

Better have a big wallet. Your clutch will only handle a handfull of these launches.
