Fastest Way off the line at a Stoplight

Hi guys,

What's your method for getting off quick at the stoplight? Manual vs automatic? Pre-rev to take off?
I'd like to make sure I am prepared when I pull up next to a C63

Oh, well in that case, this is what you do:

1 - Roll down your window (It is best to have him on your driver's side for this)
2 - Open your glovebox and pull out your loaded .9mm
3 - Aim said 9 at the c63's front tire and proceed to shoot it out
4 - Give the c63 driver a really creepy smile and don't break eye contact until the light turns green
5 - Then just mash the gas and enjoy that sweet, sweet victory
6 - Lastly, and most importantly, go to all the c63 forums you can find and create a thread titled "I just beat a c63 off the line in my c43 cause it's a real man's AMG and ya'll ain't ****!"

Or you can put on tire chains and race him on a frozen lake bed.

Ahh! You poor things!

How do you guys stop your mass shootings if none of the citizens have a gun to shoot them?

C43
Other threads seem to be suggesting to hold down the brake and rev to 2k. but I'm not sure either, still waiting on mine to be delivered before I can test it out

The best launches I got when testing the racechip were using the two footed method.

Car in gear, S+ and automatic. Traction control on.
Left foot on the brake.
Floor it with your right foot.
As soon as the revs hit around 2k, lift your left foot off the brake.

Shaky has it right... you'll probably take him for the zero to 60, especially if he spins off the line.
