I near as dammit did LC in my manual ED30 today. On A34, had a leg cramp so stopped off on the parking bit. When it came to moving off, I hit 5k revs and then kept it in the 5-7k rev range throughout all the gear changes!
Fastest I've ever accelerated. Unfortunately TC light came on.
If it bothers you that much, turn off TC.

There's a school of thought that says you should slip the clutch in 1st and 2nd - not great for your clutch, but good for launching.
i.e. you hold it at say 2500rpm on the bite and then slip the clutch out slightly to control the wheel spin as you launch building the revs, once rolling you're golden. 2nd gear hold the bite again and you release rather than just side stepping it - smooth is fast.
Low pressure front tyres and high rears gives an edge too.
