Do what the other guys have said...1.5-2k although I've been starting off at 1.5-1.8k...2k seems like a little too much for a casual (normal) start. Let the clutch out to the point where it starts to grip and the car starts moving and then keep it there while the car starts to roll. Once you get a little bit of momentum (this doesn't take too long maybe 10-20ft) then you can let the clutch out all the way. No lurching or neck snapping.
Yeah when I get it up to 2k the Z gets rolling pretty quick, but its definitely not launching the car either. Very useful when you didn't see the light turn green and you want to get moving a little quicker than normal.
