I highly do NOT recommend this. A lot of newbies think this is the mastery of stick shift and wind up toasting their clutches this way. No one is questioning your skills, just be safe, pull up the E-brake and launch properly.

I have been scared shitless in downtown Toronto parking lots (looking at you Air Canada Centre) where an expensive ass Porsche (obviously non-PDK) is in front of me on a 20 foot ramp and we're stuck because everyone is trying to get out after the game. I'm smart enough to give him almost 10 feet and the sunvabitch rolls back almost 10 feet. All the while I hear him roaring the engine and I have NOWHERE TO GO.

Please do yourself and other fellow drivers a favour and just pull the E-brake.

A perfect driver from the outside just looks like he moves forwards. No weird revving or rolling back.

Rolling back = EPIC ULTIMATE FAIL.
