not really. going from a slow roll like 20mph is still a drivers race. it's impossible to get traction through first a second gear unless you know what you're doing. the reason my friends and i go from a roll is cause they all got type-r's or 240's with much better traction than my civic.

when you launch the car from a dead stop you can do anything you want to make your car launch better and win (different rpm's, feathering, etc.)...same goes from a roll.
