Launching a manual 3.2

[masteroc]

I know that before even reading this people are going to be queing up to flame me, but I did do a search, and was rewarded with tons of ways to brake boost an automatic 2.0T. My question is how to launch a manual 3.2 without hurting the clutch or drivetrain. I want to be able to practice and do it a few times without damaging anything and was looking for techniques and suggestions.

Thanks!

That doesn't sound too good for the car... any more gentle ways to launch that still give you a nice punch of power?

There isn't really a way to "launch" your car that's gonna particularly be good for it... If you don't rev it up you won't have the power to jump off the line, and if you don't let the clutch out quickly it'll just slip, so you pretty much need to do exactly what he said if you actually want to launch. As for where the "sweet spot" is on the V6, I couldn't tell you.

If you're not trying to be a speedracer, and would just like to get a quicker start, just do the same thing without reving it up as high...
