Launch hard-you can cover the first 100 feet half a second quicker than most other cars if you can get a good launch. On a grippy surface I can launch at up to 5000 rpm without much wheelspin. I experimented with launch and shift rpms and the higher you can launch without the tires going up in smoke, the quicker you will be. Shifting just before redline is quicker, too. I have a base 2004 Boxster so things may be different for an S.

i have a base 01. so i think ill be able to use your advice for sure. what do you think about shifting. usually i keep it in second... should i downshift into first? cuz that can be really tricky.
