Default Skipping First Gear

So crazy question but has one launched in second gear instead of first? Im thinking if you have 400+ whp it would work since most "fast" cars do 0-62 in first gear which is second for the 350/G35.

You can use second, but the extra clutch slip is only going to shorten the life of the clutch.
