Major difference between the turbocharged cars drag racing with different transmission...

Automatic : Develops boost even stopped.

Manual : Does not develop boost when stopped.

You're thinking launching with even 5psi will be faster than launching from vacuum. But in road courses and such, where you actually have to turn, I agree with Mr. E. I'll change my own gears.

What's stopping me covering the brakes, and winding the car up against them in 1st gear?

Rally cars used to launch off the handbrake for this reason.

Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000
Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
