For your R/T, wait until you see a full yellow on the 3rd light and HIT IT, don't wait for the green or your R/T will be very slow and your opp will get a big lead... As far as launch, try around 3500 RPMs, if that creats to much wheel spin or hop, try at around 3000-3250 RPMs untill you have a nice smooth launch, or just say the hell with it and launch at 6000 RPMs :p
