I don't see where 'dumb and slow' plays into a good hard launch.
Dumping a clutch is not a good hard launch. It's a launch for dummies that can't drive.

Ideal acceleration requires about 15% wheel slip. This is why proper software launch control beats a manual shift every time. Heck, even the new Corvette has launch control. F1 cars cannot, because it beats the driver every time.

Just try and achieve exactly 15% wheelspin....if you can then you also won't need ABS. You can then get a job coaching Mark Webber
