If you try this with a 911, you will just burn the clutch. Sorry, but our cars have weak pressure plates. This method will not get you a good launch. In fact, the 911 cannot launch properly, unlesss some very different clutch parts are installed. This is why I suggest a moving start. Race from 30 to 120 mph. You'll eat his lunch.
