I say ignore the guys saying that taking off at less then 1500 rpm is slow, chances are they are riding the clutch way too much when they try. Also some may be trolling.

A 1500 rpm start in an FR-S/BRZ is plenty to take off and throw the rear end out sideway with TC off. The only cars I would teach someone to bring the rpms up to 1500-2000 are sub 150 hp front wheel drive cars.

A proper take off in a car with a manual transmission is done by feeling when the clutch grabs and rolling on the throttle slightly while rolling off the clutch. This should be done in 2-3 seconds. By learning to take off this way you will be better equipped to take off and spin the rear tires if you want to.
