How to launch control with A7 370z?

Yes, an AT is the best choice for a drag race, but not the most desirable for a road race short of a "real" sequential race gear box. Aside from the fact that an automatic takes too much of the driver out of the experience for my liking.

reviving an old thread here.

I too drive an AT and am interested in finding the best launch technique.

So is the general consensus simply to have VDC off and floor it? Or use the brake and rev first?

If reving first is optimal, what would be the suggested rev range? (Without overstressing the gearbox).
