Is dyno mode the only way we can use the brake to stop the car moving forward when we want to do a standstill burnout?!

she breaks traction real easy but as soon as i put the slightest pedal pressure on the brakes to stop it moving forward, those rears seem to clamp down hard and bog the car right down! Makes me miss conventional brakes!

On a sideline; the last time i was playing in dyno mode, after some burnouts was driving around still in dyno mode, and the tranny in M, and it got stuck in 3rd. wouldnt shift up or down, even after coming to a complete stop it would take off in 3rd! Had to turn car off and restart to get it back to normal, anyone else seen this sort of thing?
