i hope you're running slicks with that 1.5! there is really no "how-to" on how to launch your car, every car is different in terms of clutch feel and driver ability, the best thing to do if i were you is find somewhere like a big deserted parking lot or back roads and learn how to launch it yourself....but don't stick around in the same place too long, it's hard to explain to the cops you are just trying to learn how to launch your car in a drag race.
