On my 1989 240GLT auto I always generally hold the car in Drive with the brake pedal and when the lights change and I want a good getaway eg for the fast lane to merge into single lane after the traffic lights, I release the brake pedal and floor the accelerator pedal, until doing the speed limit.
It seems to work very, very well  Look in the rear view mirror and all traffic has only just pulled away.Never seem to get wheelspin as my rotar arm is a rev limiting one. In my area most roads are 40mph on the town outskirts and some drivers do 30mph in a 40mph zone not paying attention to the signage. Another thing at 70mph my speedo under reads by 6mph according to the satnav. I need my speedo to indicate 76mph to be doing 70mph. James
