Default
push brake to floor, push gas to floor (same time) wait for revs/boost to come up, let go of brakes.

Default a couple folks on the A6 say they have a better technique
They say you should "flash the converter". See the link below for a description.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m/a6/msgs/33869.phtml">https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m/a6/msgs/33869.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default doesn't racing and broken stuff go hand in hand?
Racing is stressful on a car. This is only one instance of how it is true.

If you aren't breaking things you aren't going fast enough!
