How to launch the RX-8?
#2
"Naught to 60".
There is no way to avoid damaging the clutch if you launch the car repeatedly. Launching is the most stressful thing you can do to a car that doesn't involve crashing. But in a nutshell, you want to rev just high enough that when you close the clutch quickly, the wheels chirp a little bit. You won't get better acceleration if you spin the wheels a lot. Keep the revs above 3000rpm while accelerating, and don't shift until 8000rpm.
