U heard wrong. Just drive the car and practice launching after reading through the forum. Once you get it you can be pretty consistent.

When I always launch I Have the car staged and right before the last yellow light hits i slowly let up so the car rolls ever so slightly and once your rolling and its green its just a smooth quick lifts just don't dump the clutch. be fluent :P



Thats my old car 25psi ets 58trim with a ACT mb7-hdss clutch nothing special not the best time but that was my 10-12 launch in the car.

get use to the exsact point when the clutch touches then let it barely move not enough to trip the staging lights but time it right and you will have a flawless launch *** soon as it starts pulling just let off the clutch and hold down the gas!

No. It isn't worth it. Seat time and learning how to properly launch your vehicle are worth it.

Read this thread. I'm not sure if it includes me going off on the use of the parking brake, but you don't really need to worry about that at this stage imo.
