Depends on whether you want to stand still or not...

Just take off in first and floor it = tires will spin.
OR
Bring the rpms up to 3000 or so and dump the clutch in first gear = lots of tire spin.
OR
Same as above but in second gear to REALLY get some smoke going.

To do any of this while staying in place requires a quick left foot to get off the clutch and on the brakes enough to stop the car rolling but not enough to stop the rear tires from spinning.

Second gear = lots of smoke!

Sorry for reviving an old thread but won't the ABS engage from a stand still? And dumping the clutch at 3000 sounds bad for the 10 bolt.

You also want to make sure you do not redline.Your car might turn off if you redline or it will just bounce the tack
