I read a post by a automatic ZL1 owner (one of the top guys on the fast list) who explained that on the stock tires he also was getting the best 60' by launching from a near stock idle. He said holding the brakes in and trying for higher revs resulted in worse times.

Something about flashing the converter (similar to how scrming has described it in the past) is better than running the rpms up.

So although I'm speaking a bit vague here, and by no means an expert in this subject, I sometimes wonder if the auto simply should just launched from near idle no matter what? Maybe holding the RPMs up and releasing the brakes results in a slow engagement of the transmission.

Of course, I'm talking about a stock transmission and not something like Gretchen is running which engages at a much higher rpm.
