Dang trouble is that everybody wants to drag race off right up to a red light and I don't want to piss people off too much But trying to not brake unless your going < 20 or 30 has helped a lot.

I'll run some trials about the acceleration and report my findings too
I find that how many cars at the light make almost no difference at all. It is all about short braking to slow the car then letting it roll up to the last car until that car starts rolling as well due to the light being green. The hard part that you have to learn is timing the whole thing, cars, and light together. What the cars add is simply an unknowing, when exactly will they move?

But that is all in the learning, I am getting damn good at it.
