The car I used to do this in had a 3600 lb. pressure plate and was still only good for half a dozen of these launches. I mention this procedure as kind of a reality check on what drag racing really entails. If the clutch in a 911 were actually able to withstand this kind of abuse, I would imagine you would just lay out a kind of "exploded view" of a 915 on the ground under the car. Like a few other guys have already mentioned, a rolling start might be the way to go. A good launch makes or breaks a real drag race; in this case, I'm afraid it would just break the car. The ammunition that would provide your brother might prove unbearable.
