Oh, I forgot, I still do that in my new "Dad car" (now and again).
😁
swapping a story…. as a kid I got sent on an errand in a top end Rover Stirling. I drove it like a lunatic and did the launch control as you describe… but it was an automatic (which I had never driven / learning on stick shift) anyway having been first away in the excitement and in error I went to put the clutch in…. The brakes were also damn good / better than the boy racers behind me who needed an underwear change and thankfully for all of us managed to steer around me… happy days and what does not kill you etc….
