If your tires are going to slip a lot it's better to leave the TCS off so that it doesn't cut your power. Step on the brake with your left foot, put it in Neutral and lightly rev the engine with your right foot. You will feel the brake pedal drop just a little bit more as power is applied. With your left foot still on the brake, put it into Drive and rev the engine to around 1200-1800 RPMs. Don't hold this for very long. Unless your reaction time is very fast, start releasing the brake and stepping on the throttle at the same time on the second to last light."
does that sound.....somewhat....realistic?

So I am currently limited to launching off-idle... my best 60' is 2.1... once I get some things dialed in my launches will be better and consistent. But as far as technique (in my AT G Sedan) I'm doing about the best that can be done for now.

Pull the rear brake light fuse out. This is the same problem we have with burnots. If it detects the accelerator and brake pedal being pressed at the same time it cuts power.
I pull the fuse anytime I want to do long burnouts and it works fine.
