You live in Brooklyn? and you wanna drive fast and launch? Arent the pot holes gonna kill the car? Well, search is #1, and then... you'll find brake torqueing this is way. If you wanted to go faster shuold have gotten something else. Unless youre planning to put major bucks in your car, Civics will lose to minivans and the like. OHHHH yeah.......

I have a A/t coupe and i went to the track the other day. brake torquin is slower than just waiting for the light and putting your foot to the floor.

How to launch an A/T:

1. Stomp on gas pedal
2. Steer

The end...

powerbrake is wat i do. ive gunned it b4 but i dont feel a difference, their both slow. also ive tried starting in d2 or 3 i dont remember the lowest one then shifting up but that feels even slowerr than anything.
