In the movie "Back To The Future" there are several scenes where you see Marty in the DeLorean doing a fast takeoff. They show a shot of the pedals and what he does his release the clutch super fast and jam on the gas right after. I feel like that's not possible and the car would stall in real life. Is this just a movie magic thing or is really possible to get a fast start that way by whipping out the clutch and jamming on the gas like that?
Depends on the car. On my mustang I can actually start the car moving with no gas. I've seen the same thing in vettes.
