I think one foot on the brake pedal and the other one full throttle and then release the brake pedal?

Well, you are not going to get some wild tire screaching burnout, but, select the Tip manual mode and pull back so it's in 1st (in Auto - it starts out in 2nd then would downshift to 1st). Next, follow Henrick's method - left foot on brake and gas it till ~ 2400 to 2500 RPM. Then let go!
Watch out and don't do it long or often as the load on the Tip could mess it up.
Even the manuals don't scream off of the line because of all of the rear weight bias.

Even if I dump the clutch in mine, I get very little wheel spin. Probably one of the reasons the 911 is so good of the mark compared to higher powered rivals.
The Tip transmission is suppose to be very strong, but be carefull....

Hi Rob,
If you are inclined to, you might consider installing a brake " line lock " that applies the front brakes via electric solenoid. When you reach the desired rpm you release the solenoid.
I think B & M makes one. Since your Cab is a C2, this could work. Are you going to the drag races?
