Depends on the tires. On stockers you can hold the foot in the brake and rev it will start to spin the tires then you can lift off the brake. Any kind of sticky tire I have not been able to get the car to rev over 2k rpms when you try the car bogs down a tad. Sticky tires put it in Manuel mode and just floor it off the line.

there is a topic about this already...
DO NOT step on brake fully while foot on gas. it will limit to 2k rpm. to raise more than 2k rpm, you may only 3/4 pressed on brake. |
