There is a bite point where you don’t need to use the brake at all, just clutch and accelerator in perfect harmony. With practice you’ll be able to stay perfectly still, or inch forwards or backwards even on steep hills.
It does get tiring if you have to hold it too long though.
I could see this being possible, but it seems like mlg meant something different. They were talking about letting off the clutch before taking your foot off the brake. Your solution seems applicable in more cars, but not universally applicable in any situation. I could definitely see this being a pain for a long light, though.
He must drive a pickup. With their deep gearing, yeah I do this all the time, no problem, no excessive clutch wear. Modern car on a steep hill, highway gearing, smaller motor tuned for higher rpm hp not lower end torque, yeah I start handbrake launching on steep hills, or heel toeing the gas n brake.
You hold the clutch at the bite point before you even reach the gas.
He says before you even reach the gas, which means you are moving your foot from brake to gas.

Sounds horrible for your clutch to do this for any significant period of time…
This kills the clutch

Nah he hasn’t mentioned using the brake at all. It’s only for short stops though.
