You don't need all that brake drama. It will slow you down. If you want? You can do a burn out to heat up the tires before following my instructions. But that gas brake shyt will actually slow u down.

That's a lot of steps to do within a few secs,

Am I missing something? I can't find "D" in my car.

But you get a good jump off the line with little initial wheel spin and a high torque hit & the same time. it has done pretty good against v8's.

It's really not though. I'm just being descriptive.

There is nothing wrong with you or your car. If you car has "D" gear then you made a mistake

That is just about the absolute worst method to launch an AT. Unless you are trying to destroy your transmission :wtf2:

You never ever do this ever ever ever ever!!!!!!
