so brake stands are definitely not good, but doing a 2-3 second one every once in a while won't do any damage? If it would wear out my brakes a little faster that'd be different than if it would warp my rotors, cuz that's no laughing matter. anyways, thanks all.

there is no mechanical connection between the engine and transmission. instead the torque converter hs two plates with kinda like turbine blades. these plates are opposed and have heavy viscus fluid filled in between. the kenetic force of the fluid transfers rotation from one to another.

In an auto, if you're gonna do anything like that...
Best advice is to press the brake and press the gas pedal, just don't do it too much and do it more than 1 time in a course of 30 minutes.
It's not bad, but it can be if you keep playing around with it.
EDIT: This method is usually used for automatic racers. I don't burn out with it though, but I haven't done it in the Audi either.

yeah, sounds good. Does it actually give you a reasonable jump off the line?, or is it just placebo? it's obviously different, but is it a worthwhile difference? (sorry to beat this topic into the ground, just curious on your opinion)
