Thanks for the tip. I've done this a few times and I seem to be fine once it's warm but the engine RPM just doesn't act the same when it's cold and makes it really hard to engage smoothly when it's cold. I've only had the car almost two weeks so I figure with practise I'll get better. Changing out the trans fluid will likely help as well as I should be able to shift faster when it's cold. To be fair it is way easier to drive this car smoothly than my WRX was and much easier to launch without bogging the engine.
