Best,
To add to what Bob said,

Lift off gas
Scream "Oh, SH*T" as the car rotates
apply brake
Scream "Oh, SH*T" as the guy passes you 'cause you're at idle
apply gas after you have applied the brakes

Bob, if that's your RS avatar... stunning!

I had my GT2 tuned by Tony at EPL and he can tune the e-gas feature.. HE can give you left foot braking aka brake boosting and also can tune the response of the e-gas system to come on harder and quicker...

It was part of his overall tune for my Car.. 1.1 bar boost (up from .8 bar) remapped throttle for track use, enabled left foot braking (to keep boost up for corner exit speed) etc. I think it was $1,995.00 For an NA Car, it would be considerably less, probably in the region of $995.00 (but don't take that as Gospel).

I'm hugely impressed by the way my Car runs now.. Way better throttle response than stock, smoother, less jerky at low throttle opening is 1st and 2nd gear...

I'm coming in to this conversation pretty late, but wanted to comment on the Sprint Booster. I've had one on my 6GT3 for about a year now and it is great. it made a HUGE difference in throttle response.

I use left foot brake on both of my cars (996tt) (996gt2)
Evolution Motorsports tune can take care of it with no problem as they also can map the throttle map and torque request on the throttle map which makes the throttle very fast. My GT2 is more progressive as I use the car at the track. The 996tt I use the left foot brake, to brake boost.
