You can still launch it by brake-torquing, you just have to be quick. Basically, it has to be one fluid motion: hold brake firm, floor the gas, release brake. All within 2 seconds or so.

In a drag strip scenario, I'm going to try to pull this off right as the next-to-last light on the tree appears... Skills yo

It hits flash stall so fast 2 sec seems like plenty of time. I tried this earlier today, and it worked fine

I always thought after about 5+ sec you start cooking the trans fluid anyway...
