Same way as the Euro's right?
Disable DSC, Put it in M-Mode, put it in S6, then hold downshift while you mash the gas pedal... it'll rev to 1500 rpms or 4500 (euro) and when you're ready let go of the shifter. Away it goes... hold on for dear life, keep the gas floored and dont try to shift.

I don't use "M" mode for a launch. If you use the following settings you will get a smoother launch. That being said 1500rpm for launch is pretty damn gay. needs to be the full 4500 really!
P500, DSC Off, S6 and the key is to use SOFT suspension so that it doesn't just wheel spin like hell. Hold shift forward, foot flat on foor then release shift when ready to go. First time you do it on euro mode, NO a truck did NOT hit you from behind! It really should catapult forward that fast! I think I've seen some mention that US mode does not autoshift in LC mode? In euro mode I'm sure the autoshift IS quicker than S6 but guess that's not possible? It's damn violent anyway, LOVE IT!

release your left foot then stomp on the gas pedal simultaneously. If you want more wheel spin you can rev up to 2000 - 2500 rpm.
Be careful when the dsc is fully off, the vehicle can and will go sideways!
