The proper way to launch the 911 is by starting off in reverse. This provides you with the most torque available to the wheels. Once you obtain approximately 30 mph, a hard turn of the wheel should allow you to spin the car around and continue forward by shifting into 2nd gear. When you approach a stop light, apply the emergency brake and turn the wheel hard, allowing you to get into a backward position again where you start the process all over again.

This technic is particularly benefitial to those not wanting to risk wearing out their 1st gear synco's.

My friend told me the best way to stop was to launch a boat anchor out the window.
