Yes I have the 6MT. I have turned off the DST, but I haven't yet noticed much of a difference. Of course I am still in my break in period and I am trying to keep RPM's down below 4K, but it seems really sluggish in first gear off the line. I am considering revving to 2,700 or so and doing a clutch drop, but waiting until I reach the 1200 mile mark. Anyone, try this yet?

That's essentially what I was doing for autocross starts and it seemed to be effective. Granted, I like my clutch so I've been taking it easy on the launches for a while and don't remember the exact RPM I was using. Experiment with it and see what works best for you.
I do remember that if you go much higher than that you just start spinning the wheels.
And at the risk of being a jerk...
Leave while you still can!
