If i remember correctly, one XKR-S reviewer mentioned they tried power breaking but ended up easing onto the throttle at the start to minimize wheel spin and put up their fastest time.
I would also think launching in 2nd gear would be best in this car. The problem is that is paddle mode so it might take some practice to be perfect down the strip.
Might have to try it sometime. Sounds like fun.

I have no idea about the RPM, but I'm sure it would a wild burnout out especially without drag radials.

Yes, I think H would be open to having a conversation about this. You have a good relationship with him and although it didn't work out with me doing business with him - he seems like a reasonable and fair guy.

The bright side is your car can be even faster than you thought.
