auto is simple, left foot on brake and right on gas, build boost.
6speed you need to heel and toe.left foot on the clutch and right on the brake and gas. put enough load on the engine at a good rpm to build some boost then let off the brake and go.

actually you shouldnt need to be pushing the clutch in. Carlos just get to your desired roll speed so lets say 60mph. Once you do that make sure you are in the proper gear where you will have the most usable powerband. Then use your left foot to begin pressing on the brake pedal while at the same time giving it enough gas to keep you at your desired speed. Looking over at your boost gauge you should be able to see yourself starting to build boost. Keep pressing down on the gas until you get to about 75% to WOT while still holding the brake with your left foot to keep you at 60mph...let go of the brake pedal and hold on

I know Andy and your referring to power braking but I didnt know if Carlos would realize that. lol
Besides for launching you shouldnt need your foot on the brake if your 6spd. Just rev it and slip that clutch.

BTW hows the car running? Havent seen you around at all.
