It takes a little practice, I sucked so bad at it at first. But a friend showed me how and I got really good at it. He wasn't good with vocabulary so in his words he told me, "Push the clutch pedal all the way down, then mash the gas pedal! Now slowly lift off the clutch until you start to feel it move. Then once it's moving let it go!" He told me how to do this when we were at the track, I was running high 13s. After he told me this bit of advice I got a 12.4, I tried to do it again but only got a 12.6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2QvJ6JqKy8 The clutch takes a beating launching though, so I bought a new twin plate.

I have an x aswell, just plain "slipping" does the trick. Also seems to work best at around 5500 rpm. Just like ElDiablo79 metioned...."slowly lift off the clutch until you start to feel it move. Then once it's moving let it go". Hope that helps.

Also would like to mention. I know someone who double clutched it and i think dumped from a really high rev.....and his brand new car is in for service lol
