    You have to load the torque converter (brake torque, I guess). Then quickly release the brake and push the throttle to just before the tires break loose. Once you're moving good you can mash it all the way down and the tires should mostly hold.

    It takes practice, since you have to know your car and thus how much throttle it takes just enough to get you moving well without breaking the tires loose.
