At first I thought it maybe I was spinning a wheel, but I can't see any evidence of that. Interestingly if I just hold the brake and apply power, it does not do this; it stays in the 1200-1600 RPM range. In my 2009S PDK if I just tromped on it, it would not slip and starve itself before coming on a couple hundred milliseconds later. This happened in a 2010 C2 that I drove also. I'll be interested to see if this technique works when one just tromps on it.

It may have something to do with the 3.4 to compensate for it's reduced torque at low RPM. Or it may be a compensating technique if one doesn't have a limited slip differential. Do you have a 3.4 or 3.8, Arthur? I'll be interested to hear if this works for you.

PS Don't know if it's recorded and yes, it is much more exhilarating. Next time I do it I'll check to see if any lights come on, but I haven't noticed any yet.

So that I understand clearly: you are holding down the brake, applying about 1/4 pedal quickly, then releasing brake for an exhilarating start.
