WRX launch technique question

A) You don't want to launch the crap out of your car all the time, the X-fer case/Diffs will not be happy with you, and will break/slip/etc.
B) You warranty will not cover when something like that breaks through abuse as it is usually very obvious when it is abuse
C) Get better at driving every day before you try to go all Gung-Ho about it, you should really not be abusing the crap outa the car since it is new, and the clutch as such is new also
D) After everything is broken in, 6500RPM and Dump the clutch, you try to balance it, you will probably just end up melting the clutch.
E) I have only owned like 2 AWD Vehicles, neither were fast, but that seems to be the 'fast' way to launch them...

Like I said, I have only owned 2 thing with AWD, and neither were fast. I'd imagine that by trying to balance it, you will melt the clutch more than anything especially being new to driving manual IMO.
I think 6500 rpm would be a bit high for a WRX, I'd say try 5000 and find the slip point. You can either bump the throttle to that rpm and slip for a hard launch or maintain the rpm through progressive acceleration and dump it. If it launches better than expected you can experiment with higher rpm till you find the appropriate launch rpm.
Another way to lessen the shock of the launch is to pull the ebrake ever so slightly while reaching the slip point. This compresses the rear of the car and when the car is about to launch and makes the launch more precise.

Thanks guys, I try to take it easy on her 90% of the time....but I bought this car for the fun and performance too, so I am trying to find the safest way to drive it. I don't launch it at all, was just trying to the other day. I usually do a 3k rpm roll and when the car goes into gear I get on it. Turbo lag this way, but once she gets back above 3k ish it is fun
that's a deal though, because while im spinning u will be bogging the shit out of the WRX...should be fair :rollpicard:
