I also would like to know the proper way to launch. I shift to 1st, clutch all the way in, gas pedal steady at the desired rpm, and then when ready, I floor the gas pedal and release the clutch pedal. Am I doing it right?

are you doing after driving a bit? its getting colder, and these summer tires aren't very grippy unless they are warmed up.
