I would like to see how you guys do it without the Ebrake. When I use the ebrake my actions are much more relaxed, and I don't feel rushed at all. I don't burn my clutch like I would think the foot brakers do. I'll make a comparison vid of the ebrake trick if someone wants to shoot there foot brake one. We will let others be the judge of witch is worse on the car.
because all in one fluid motion we let the clutch out to the exact point of engagement, move our foot off the brake and are giving the car throttle to initiate forward movement.

the only time where ive had to call on my e-brake in a manual, was in my LAST SUV, my 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser which I used for offroading.
When you are perched on a rock and a fallen log with a 6 foot drop that will tip your bitch ass, that's when you use the e-brake to start moving from a stop.

The S seems to be very inclined to rolling on, well, inclines. I was parallel parked the other day and was left literally less than a foot by the car in front of me who showed up after and roughly about a foot and half behind and the crown of the road was actually causing me to roll a couple inches when I was changing directions during my 30 point turn.

I was using every inch to try to get out while cursing the bastards and I actually used it the e-brake to make sure I didn't knock my rear bumper on the car behind me. One of the few days I wish I had a flame-throwing exhaust.

Our cars don't have tq. You either burn the clutch a little, spin the tires, or use the e-brake.

Launch in VTEC. It's the only way.
