Just take it slow, dont try to do anything too crazy. It will take time to learn how to do it properly and consistently.
So try launching at lower RPM's (e.g. 3k) instead of going straight for 5-6K+

Yep, that'll make the whole process a lot easier, and cheaper!

if you want to learn, take what these guys told you and go check out some launching videos on google of a4's on the track. watch the rpm band and release. i know they are probably pushing more ponies, but it will give you a visualisation and a general idea of what is going on.

good luck! and dont beat on that clutch too much.. dont wana blow it
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, found these:

Yeah those are nice, but find some with video from the cockpit, you need to see the rpm band in action.. not the outside sound..

best bet is to check the sights and sounds forum on this site. it has lots of vids!!!

Good call, see if you can get some longer vids where you can watch multiple launches at diff rpm's and how the car reacts and how the driver reacts.
