Sell the S, get a '66 automatic mustang?
To the OP, it's really simple: Rev up engine to at least 5-6k, pop the clutch and immediately transfer your left foot to the brake pedal. You will easily overcome the rear brakes with power but the fronts will hold.
I must have done that 20 times at least doing burnouts in the water box at the drag strip. Granted, it's a lot easier when the tires are a little wet, but I've done it in the dry too.
However, I will say that if you are in the habit of putting really good tires on the S like you're supposed to do then this is an expensive habit and you could very well hose your diff (especially in the dry).

that was my first car in HS. My old AP2 was way more capable of a standing burnout lol
