rev it up to 4500 rpms and drop the clutch....then hold the brake slightly, or you could try just slammin down the gas........

second gear works better b/c you get higher tire speeds.

Manual: Put the shifter into 1st gear. (Some people do 2nd, see what works best for you). Push the clutch in and rev it up to about 4k RPMs, then quickly remove your foot from the clutch pedal and move it over to the brake pedal. The idea is to use as little braking force as necessary to prevent the car from rolling forward. When you want to make your getaway, simply slowly release the brake pedal and you should start moving forward and leave some nice tire marks in the process!

I do the 2 pedal/1foot (gas/brake). 1 foot for the clutch. Works well, as you don't need to do a shocking clutch dump.
