Lightbulb GS300 Tips

Does anyone have any tips on how to launch the best with the GS300 or atleast make the tires break loose?

I know for a fact that my car won't spin from a dead stop, and in order to do so I would brake torque.

Why do you insist on putting extra wear & tear on your drivetrain?

First off, when I break torque the car is 10x faster off the line. 2400rpm.

I just don't want to find an alternative to it.

To have the tires break loose add a turbo or supercharger,hehe.

Maybe a TC might do it.
