6k clutch dump...
But that requires slicks, gears, 12 bolt/9 inch, suspension, chassis, and power mods to make work.
It would help if we knew your mods, and if you're talking a basic street launch or a launch at the drag strip.

Depending on the surface you're on, right around 2000rpm with some very mild feathering should get you the best launch. You'll have to practice to find the right amount of wheel spin because there is no chance in hell that you'll fully hook and take off.
from idle- ride clutch at 60% throttle until you get traction - mash the go pedal and lift slightly when you shift. If you dump the clutch and go 100% throttle you will probaly take out the timing lights and get ejected from the track.

I hate to do this...... but i assume you are asking for at the track?
if so....
drive around the water box(under NO circumstances should ANYONE on street tires burnout in the water box, so STAY OUT!!! sorry pet peev)
once around it back up to just in front of it, and spin your tires for 1-2 secs... note i did not say burnout... your doing this just to clean your tires off , not to heat them up...
pull up to the staging lights and find the groove(that is the slightly impressed lines on the asphalt that the bigboys have left) this is the stickiest part of the track.
stage ONE light at a time (this means dont pull up real fast and light both staging lights, it pisses the other driver off and is bad form)
once staged bring your rpms up to 2000-2500 rpms(this part varys from track to track)
forget the lights dropping... if you are asking this question then dont worry about your reaction time... it will just *** up your launch technic...( you can work on your reaction time after you master your launch)
when you are ready, perform a CLUTCH ROLL... this is quickly pulling your leg off the clutch(not side steping it which is known as a dump) at about the same speed as your left leg is coming up, send your right foot for the floorboard. practice practice practice.... doing this everytime you will find your cars sweet spot....
run about 20 PSI on street tires
this netted me a 1.90 60' on bone stock tires
if so....

i get a kick out of guys in the water box with street tires, that slings all that water in the wheel well and drips it right back down on the tires on take off, plus it stays in the tread some

As for launching an M6, it takes a lot of practice. Each car is different. I would start at 1500 RPM and work up from there. If you spin back down, if you bog step up. Street tires are a pain to launch with. Just practice.
