I typically launch at those stupid metering lights before getting onto the freeway. Rev to about 3500, then dump the clutch and floor the gas. I've had my car for almost two years with no problem.

Turn off TRACTION control thing [VSC?] and just do that cluth n gas thing, just level it off and BOOM!

Wow I guess Ive been "launching" with my Honda S2000 6-Speed, and didnt even know the term.

I burnout, drop the clutch, whatever all the time on my manual IS. Car seems to be fine. The Clutch might be wearing down quicker than it should though I am sure, but the new F sport clutch is coming out so that will be fine. Just remember to turn off your traction control. (Button located below the push start.)

Will Lexus drop the F clutch in there for you? Also I tried launching or whatever today.
I tried it once with the traction control on and it sorta took the car a sec to catch.
i tried again with the traction control button off and the car skidded a second before grabbing traction and taking off
finally again with doing the petal dance to turn off the traction control and the car took off almost instantaneously.
i was overall very impressed with the way everything and altho there is a rough second when the car initially takes off it still all feels very smooth. A+.
also i know this sounds lame, but is there away to lock your front brakes and spin your back tires?

easy... hold the clutch, press the brake and gas all the way n then you release the clutch..... brakes are locked up and you accelerating at the same time = burn out....
