But since you asked, the secret to a quick start is high RPM's and let out the clutch quick. Boxster's don't have much torque in the low RPM range so you have to get into the power curve right off the line or you're toast.

Beware, this isn't good for your clutch and at $2K for a clutch replacement, its better to just let the other guy go.
The clutch wouldn't be what I'd worry about if I used the method your suggesting. It's the axle tramp that breaks gears that would concern me.
