Default ??Question??

I know this will sound stupid but I was reading a post and it said that the car was braking at the line, what exactly does that mean? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Does it mean they had there foot on the brake until the light turned green? Thanks.

I'm guessing it was an automatic? Most likely brake torquing (holding brake and gas at same time to bring revs up) .

Stock car you basically preload the drivetrain, if you have an aftermarket torque converter you can raise the RPMs before the rear wheels break loose
