it's called a brake stand..... you take your right foot and press the gas while also taking your left foot and pressing the brake enough so that the car will not move foreward. bring the rpms to about 2500rpms, or enough so that when you release the gas, your motor doesn't bog, and you scoot off the line with just a slight chirp of the tires. that's about it. i'd manually shift the automatic through low, 2, and then into drive to hold it high enough into the power band.

whatever you do, DO NOT do what is known as a "neutral drop" that's where you rev the motor up in neutral, and drop it into drive to launch.... you'll drop that tranny onto the pavement lickity split, buddy.

good luck, and remember- launching a car is an art.... it takes a lot of practice. most importantly, learn to feel what the car wants you to do, as they each have their quirks.
