I saw this video before, and I still stick to my original conclusion:

Think about it. The amount of time it takes to wind out each gear in every other car INCREASES with each shift. This is due to a couple of reasons...

1) The gears get progressively taller
2) The increasingly taller ratio will make the car have to work harder at the same RPM, especially in a "standstill", "brake-torqued" situation

The X-fire in the vid blasts through all gears at the same rate. Auto or not, I can't see the engine's torque compensating for the steep angle of the later gears.

Launch your car @ 2,000 RPMs in 1st gear. Now, try doing the same in 6th gear, from a standstill. Unless you're driving a Viper with 500+ LB/FT of torque, you're stalling in a heartbeat.

While the Crossfire is torquey, it isn't THAT powerful to be able to sustain smoking the tires through five gear changes.

Let's just say for grins and giggles that 1st gear is 2.80 ratio, and 5th is .95 .... you're not going to accelerate through the final gear as quickly as you would the initial one, unless the car is on a lift.

Here's a video of a TRUE multiple-gear burnout... clutch shifts and all. A keen ear will recognize the slower ascension in RPM as the gear number gets higher.
