I often employ the sucker start technique. It works like this:

1. Stopped at light beside the sucker but I want to be in his lane.
2. Race engine, look at the sucker, jerk car forward several times.
3. When light changes take off slow while the sucker races off.
4. Calmly change lanes in behind the sucker.

I have found the 240 ideally suited for this manuever.
