Release the brake and step on the gas?

Floor it while the car is in Park, while at the same time holding the brake and then throw it in Reverse.

Then as a courtesy to other drivers, come back and pick up the pieces in the road.

No - there are no launch controls on this car. The most you can do is switch to Sport plus, and disable traction control - but this is not a (super)car with dedicated launch controls.

Yeah, this is no GT-R I'm afraid you can only disable traction control and switch to sport+ mode.

Trac off, sport mode, depress bake pedal, hold accelerator pedal to 2K rpm, drop the brake and stab the accelerator

No Winson... This one was funny. Lol, I couldn't stop laughing. @ the OP... Unfortunately the 2103 Lexus GS350, no matter which model... Does not come equipped with launch control.
