The fastest way probably is to be very abusive on your clutch - rev to 4000 or so and ride the clutch. I wouldn't recommend that as a regular activity though.

The best way? Probably a light touch on the accelerator to about 1200rpm, then slowly let your foot off the clutch and away you go to a nice smooth start.

the best way? well technically the wheels should be travelling at approx 110% of road speed.
The practial way, drop clutch just enuf so that the wheels are only just spinning. How much? practice :D

but being a turbo car this varies, you could have it sitting at 4000rpm and it would probably bog, but if you had it at 3000rpm with the foot flat to the floor it would go up in a pile of smoke.
