In my old beater civic dx auto hatch I could launch good (relatively speaking) by reving the piss out of it in nuetral and then pushing it into drive... I could do some pretty decent burnouts 
Probably wanna avoid doing this if it's your daily driver.
You got the wrong car if you looking for performance. 4 speed auto sucks... you can spend thousands on mods and still only be capable of hanging with a stock 5spd. Only solution for you is Nitrous.
