if your stock, i ran 13.54 with a burnout in my A4 till it shifted to 2nd w/ pedal to the floor, then launched at ~1500rpms(not much spin from what i heard). Then i did the same burnout but launched around 2000rpm and ran a 13.42, still from what i heard no traction problems but i will bring someone next time to confirm this, even if it does spin, i still ran a MUCH better time and my 60' improved from a 2.1 to a 1.98. My MPH was the same in the 1/4, just the ET changed...
edit: i forgot to mention all of this was on the stock GS-A tires with roughly 20k miles on em, lookin to get some Eagle F1's and hope for some good traction with the new tires!

need a little more info...by starting at a higher rpm, im assuming you mean stalling up (or just revving if your an M6).....best way to not spin is slap on a set of drag radials....
also, what do u mean by lunge forward? isn't that what they're supposed to do when you launch them? (no flame intended, i just dont get what you mean.)
