they are very, very different.
In the 996TT, the distance between "start of grab" and "full grab" at the clutch pedal is much, much shorter. Couple this with less torque in normal launches, and a lighter flywheel for quicker throttle response - and the 996TT is considerably harder to launch until you get used to it. On the other hand these same characteristics actually make it a little harder to allow the clutch slip to get away from you like you can do in the M5.
I tried a 4000RPM, really aggressive clutch-let-up launch ONCE. Wheel hop was AWFUL and I aborted ASAP, thankful I didn't snap a driveshaft or bend a gear. It is posible that you could master this technique - perhaps if I was a little more aggressive i would have gotten enough AWD wheel slip to reduce the hop - but there is NO WAY I'm going to find out on MY car!
