I've only done rolling starts (don't drop the clutch) and have broken the tires loose many times even rolling on the throttle and when hitting second. I'm very careful to be pointing in a straight direction on good pavement. Only got a small amount of lateral movement doing this, but then one time when I hit second the car fishtailed a lot and I almost lost it. Don't know what was different, but if you lose traction on one side more than the other for whatever reason, bad things start happening fast. I was lucky that I didn't take my foot off the gas but just eased up a bit and regained control. I really could benefit from a performance driving course...
