Indeed. I'm no noob to launching or doing a burnout in an automatic, so we took the Z out to the middle of the desert (literally) and I tried a few burnouts/launches. As Mike describes, as soon as you apply throttle while braking, the engine cuts power. I was able to get maybe 1.5 sec of brake-torquing before the engine cut power. Needless to say, no burnouts were achieved that day.

It actually makes for a very poor launch...
