It's not something you want to do every day, but it's definitely something that needs to be experienced. :-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Rt9mB2tpM">Here's how it's done in a B5!</a></li></ul>

You have to be pretty judicious on the car for a real launch...
Although the heavy rear torque bias helps to break the tires loose, they're still some big rollers back there and its easy to just bog down.
Here's the best launch video i've seen, although not sure if it's R-tronic or 6speed.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSj8PeM9z8w">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSj8PeM9z8w</a></li></ul>
