100% correct. of course, as with any launching method, this will require much finagling as there are always variables involved, such as tire tread, road surface, etc. you will find that with an automatic transmission you can easily be consistent with your launches.

somebody should make a sticky on this if its not already done, and include techniques on launching a manual.

i found a pretty good technique for launching my car, 05 mustang GT 5 speed manual. rev it to 3 grand, have your right foot also holding the brake, and let the clutch come up to the point right before it really engages. to launch, obviously let your foot off the brake, dump the clutch and apply about 2/3 throttle.. you can't let off the clutch too quickly as you will spin a bit, but if you let it off too slowly you'll get a frustratingly slow launch. it takes a bit of work to get down right. i find that if you go 2/3 throttle and as it hits 3k you let off the clutch, it responds better and there is less of a chance of bogging down than just holding part throttle at 3k rpm. maybe its just me, but my theory is that it could be the new mustang's drive by wire throttle system, as it is programmed not to snap the throttle blade open quickly, so if you start this process earlier, you will get the throttle open quicker and have less of a chance of bogging down. on a perfect launch, the car will squat and basically kick you in the ***. you'll know when u get it right. keep trying more and more aggressive launches until you spin, and then you know when your breaking point is. good luck!
