If you want less wheel spin & a good launch, practice your clutch technique like suggested. If I'm not too tempted when stopped at a light, I usually shift & accelerate smoothly in 1st and gun it to the higher gears. You probably shouldn't launch your car at every stop light anyways.
Oh geez Cmike! Of course I'm not launching at every light! I do it like once a month, if that. I think you're right about the tires. Your technique is the one I use, but must be stepping into it a little early. m4a1Mustang and I were talking about the camber and lack of a good weight transfer on the Z as well. Definitely not ideal, but still fun!
