It's obvious to shift before red line as the engine will cut out and stumble...
JCW makes a great shift light that is more like a bar graph ...

The thread is your only other post

I'll tell you how to launch the cooper.. Gently Using your foot feed increase your RPM's ever so slightly and with a steady touch allow your clutch to engage. As soon as you are rolling let the clutch the rest of the way out as you apply more foot feed. Your cooper will love you for it.
