This is not at all what I was talking about, asshole. You can set the car into various modes such as Track Mode, Manual mode, etc. Some modes stop the rear wheels from spinning when you gun it. In full manual mode this is hard to control because the car is light in the back. Moving the engine to the back can create a better grip. Better grip = less wheel spin = faster departure.
My 2013 2SS RS 1LE 600HP 6SP Camaro had settings similar to this, one of them called "Launch Mode". Essentially you could floor the gas pedal and the rear wheels would spin as fast as possible while the computer would control grip.
Next time you want to grandstand, it helps to know what the fuck you're talking about. If you don't, go back in to your corner and shut the fuck up.

Autos are MUCH more expensive to service than a manual.

I stand corrected. In my personal experience (7 out of my 10 cars) have been manual. I wrecked the transmission on 2 of them and the cost was about $2000 each. I've never wrecked an automatic transmission.
