Racing in auto ST Options

[funnyboy117]

Hypothetically, if I or someone like me were to race, from a standstill, in an auto ST, would our best bet be to:

a) Leave the car in drive with overdrive off and just mash on the gas
b) Start in L, shift up to 2 when nearing redline, then shift up to drive when nearing redline in 2
c) Either of the above with some other techniques added in.

Hypothetically, of course

Ummm yea, dont take racing in an auto st too serious. As far as cars in its class...it can keep up with an automatic non z24 cavalier.....thats about it. Although once I did own a 5 speed 6cyl mustang off the line but I dont think that guy knew what he was doing

And please drive responsibly

EDIT: ^ That was with my first 94 Celica ST....I sold that slug and got the 5 Speed GT. Night and day man. Ahh yea but I have done it where you hold the brake firmly down and get the rpms up as much as you can without your car moving. It works. Take your shoes off too....It gives you a better feel for the gas pedal when your barefoot.
