i am going to disagree with these guys and until they can post better than consistant low 2.1 60' times i will do it my way.
dont hold the gas at all it makes it hesitate when you take off, put the auto manual shift in third gear, hold the brake down firmly, then floor it and then let off the brake. reving it up and trying to take off got me 2.2 and 2.3 s so i figured out a way to take off faster.
14.2 bone stock in florida with 2.1 60' times is pretty good i think....

he is talking about a 5AT
in manual mode you can put it in to 1 2 3 4 5 gear while sitting still
the gear you leave it in limits how high it will shift before it pegs the rev limiter
for instance... if you put it in 3 when you take off it will shift into second automatically and then third automatically and then peg the rev limiter in third
glad i could be some help for my sarcastic fellow g drivers

Mine's an '03 5AT coupe. Jeremey when you put it in 4th to start out your still starting out in 1st. The car will automatically shift through the gears until you hit 4th or whatever gear you put it in when your stopped. If you don't manually shift from 4th to 5th you'll hit the rev limiter.

You’re stopped, you switch to manumatic mode. On the instrument panel some sedan's will allow you to shift into 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. Let’s say you shift into 4th gear. At this point your instrument panel is showing you’re in 4th gear at a dead stop, not possible. When you start out the car is actually still in 1st gear. All you’re doing is allowing the car to automatically shift until you hit 4th gear. To shift into 5th gear you would have to use manumatic mode. If you didn’t you would remain in 4th and hit the rev limiter.
