It aint good but if u racing someone then u gotta do it, the best thing to do is, floor it a little bit and when u begin to pik up speed, jerk your speed pedal, u'll feel the car getting an extra push, u'll go faster.

You can possibly break an engine part or screw up your
engine/emissions system. What you're really doing is wasting
gas ($3.00+ a gallon) and eventually you may have to over-
utilize your braking system to slow down in an emergency.
A traffic ticket will cure all of these bad habits.

You can throw a rod through the engine if you red line the tach on take off from start to high speed. Always be consistant when accelerating to prevent this from happening and watch your tachometer.

yes it will over heat your transmition. Then you will have to a new one. And they cost from about $200 -$500

Guess not, I do it all the time. It does use up some gas & tires though. I'm a little hard on my vehicles. Hee Hee

Anything that strains the drive line can't help.
