Message 7000 rpm and half clutch as well for a split second. That should give you
a good 60 foot, if it sticks. As for the burn out time, you want to heat the
tires about six seconds.

There's also a trick for launching a turbo car: basically you want to rev it
up to about 5-6k rpm and quickly get off the gas; you do this about three
times and then the last time you bring the rpms up to 7k and release the
clutch slowly. This is kind of like a two step rev limiter without the
electronics. The raw fuel being dumped on your turbine wheel will
accelerate the turbine wheel faster then revving to 7k rpm and just
dumping it.

Here is one of my videos: listen at second 26 for the three revs before I
launch.
