it really depends on the circumstances, temperature, traction, wear, etc. You'd have to experiment with different RPMs for a given surface to figure it out

The 6MT guys are hilarious!!!!!

Experiment with different RPM ranges, road conditions, tires, many factors to consider. Go out there and have fun (in a safe environment of course)

I have 6 MT, but it is not so easy to launch it...I bet the DCT is easier
