Correct launching techniques
So i think their are afew people on here that could do with some tips and shit about launching our AWD cars, including myself. So i have swallowed my pride, asked the question and now hope that some of the more experienced drivers could help us out.
I have tried afew different ways. But none of them felt correct. - riding the clutch, holding recs at 4k with tge handbrake up. Drip the hand brake release the clutch and floor the gas. - Foot flat to the floor, when it gets to somewhere around 4k release the Clutch - Blip the gas so it hovers over 4k then release the clutch and floor the gas. Now between all of these i have exprienced excessive burnt clutch smell, especially the first. I have never really had anyone show me so up until now it has just been trail and error. And i have a feeling going to shit something soon. I should also mention i have a 6spd box, but would also like tips for those with 5spds

First you need to find the point you first get bite on ye clutch gas and go no slipping of clutch or you will smoke it. Me have no sympathy to clutches I usually gas 5-6000 rpm and release. If i bog down more revs. But this is just me so don't take it as word as I have killed a few clutches.

First method imo isn't that great because there's so much going on already, and then you are introducing the hand brake into the equation. I used to do that in my FWD rice burner because i could sit on the engagement point and make the front squat, and it would unleash the grip i needed to break a 17 sec quarter mile.
In the STI i used to blip to 5500- 6000 and just very quickly slip the clutch, but not quite as quick as side stepping. I found personally that with blipping i could more accurately target that rpm range as opposed to flooring. Used to get 1.7- 1.8 60' times with stock STI at the bogan community events held on Wednesdays at Kwinana..

Nah never loaded the clutch man...i always found the STI clutches quite light so had no problem starting the launch with the clutch pedal flat.
Have you perhaps got ultra grippy tires?

From personal experience...
Give the car some blips, normally 5500 to 6000 rpm and let the clutch out as smooth and as fast as possible. Try to let the clutch out just as you rise to 6000 rpm as it bobs a little bit it you catch it late. Had plenty of wheel spin and the back bouncing around a bit but nothing broken yet.

ok I've just been for a lap around an industrial area close to mine...I can launch fine at ~5500-6000rpm without LC, just have to rev blip to there, let go, while revs starting to go down(like a split second), release clutch to bite point, smash accel and completely release clutch simultaneously/quickly... don't get any wheel spin but, so I'm assuming I'm doing it well...launches great like that.

6 speed. Heavy ass wagon. R comps.
Clutch just before the bite point Smash the loud pedal all the way. When revs hit about 6000 ish. Foot off the clutch quick but smooth. Works every time.

I thought you wanted a little bit of wheel spin so that the load is reduced ?
6k usually works fine in my old one and the new, only thing is consistently getting the release smooth enough to not bog down. RJ my thoughts on lc is that it's just a rev limit so you can floor the happy pedal and only worry about the clutch.
