Brake torque the car.
Turn off VSC and turn on ETC PWR.
Hold your brake down while gently pressing down the gas at the same time to bring your RPM up to 1800-2000.
At that point, let go of the brake and slam the gas at the same time. Your tires will chirp but won't spin out too much because they will have warm up from the brake torque.
IMO, it's the best way to get the GS to launch from a dig.

brake torque is better...
I've timed it..
dont have the exact numbers but know its faster then smash and go
It is fast..big accel..because you are setting it up...when you floor it..you will still get a huge accelaration...its like a runner doing a stretch before running...
