In my older SVX, I took it down a 1/8 mile track twice, I hold the brake once im in position, but I dont hit the gas till its green. 10.6sec on the 1/8.

Hold in the brake and hold the gas at the same time. hold it revving around 4400 rpm. When she turns green let gor of the brake and mash the gas

If you can do this,

Then the torque converter's stator is slipping.

The converters stall speed is about 2350/2750, so don't try for 4400, it won't happen.

Don't use the manual button. It's meant to be used with the shifter in 2 or 3 on slippery surfaces. The car will start out in 2nd gear.

Holy moly.

If your AWD works just punch it down. I didn't really see any difference doing any weird break torquing in my runs. My fastest run was actually going WOT from idle.

Doing that never puts me back in my seat, but something does. It seems going half way to WOT up to about 20mph pulls harder than just completely opening the throttle.
I remember someone verifying this with there own unrelated experience.

From idle, depress the throttle half way very quickly, count to two, then mash the thottle all the way down.

Try it while driving around to see if you can find the "sweet spot".

Yes Nik I don't advocate stall starts. The engine/transmission has enough torque to drive off idle.

BUT when idling, the line pressure is about 70psi. the full pressure is 170psi.at 2500 If you punch the throttle from idle, the forward clutch has to take the full torque, with only a low line pressure, and can slip, before it grips. The line pressure takes X amount of time to rise to the higher pressure, so it is best to take the rpm to about 1700rpm to bring the line pressure up and get all the transmission slack loaded up, before the torque hits it.

Harvey.
