Default Launch?

I'm new to a M6 I can shift perfect, but take off and burnouts I've never tried, anything I need to know, and I was also wanting to know what RPM to Launch at.

It's one of those things you need to play with. Since you have some tires already, I'd start at 3 and adjust depending on if you spin or bog.

burn out goes like this... drop clutch at 3k+ and step on the brake pedal and hold a constant pressure.. Or.. buy a line lock..

and to the OP, to do a burnout if u can master it your betterr off holding brake with right foot and sliding other part of foot on to gas and work clutch with ur left dump it and control gas and brake with your right foot, some ppl just dump then grab brake but i rather do it with my right foot all at once

Doing a burnout in a standard is pretty easy if you have a good feel for your car and know what its capable of.

depending on your hp levels is where you need to launch the car at..you need some practice to get it right.fot instance i have to leave at about 2k on drag radials on the street and i leave soft i dont pop the clutch.it seems to pull the front end up enough for the 150 shot that comes on at 4k rpms.
depending on which dr i run i can dead hook my car most of the time,549rwtq in first gear is a little tricky to stick.
