Go somewhere and practice. Once you know exactly where it is and how it feels/plays out, you'll be more comfortable and will be able to take off a lot better. Don't first time it if you'r lookin to keep your "Streed cred"

i can't do it that way for some reason. i do way better without reving it. clutch 1/2 and gas 1/2, then once it gets in ger, floor it!
