When I had my S, I used to rev it to 6.5k and feather the clutch until I gain close to full traction.

It's a bit tricky to launch an S, but it's not hard i can show you in your car . If you do it right it wont damaging your rear diff.

Thats what I meant. Little tire spin. I never launch my car. Done it once or twice for the hell of it. Just worried about messing up my car.

Never tried. No real reason to... but now you got me wondering what my '06 will do with traction control on.
