    I could see this being possible, but it seems like mlg meant something different. They were talking about letting off the clutch before taking your foot off the brake. Your solution seems applicable in more cars, but not universally applicable in any situation. I could definitely see this being a pain for a long light, though.

      Nah he hasn’t mentioned using the brake at all. It’s only for short stops though.

        You hold the clutch at the bite point before you even reach the gas. He says before you even reach the gas, which means you are moving your foot from brake to gas.

      He must drive a pickup. With their deep gearing, yeah I do this all the time, no problem, no excessive clutch wear. Modern car on a steep hill, highway gearing, smaller motor tuned for higher rpm hp not lower end torque, yeah I start handbrake launching on steep hills, or heel toeing the gas n brake.
