You can't launch a 5AT. I suggest you you shift a few thousand before the redline until you get used to MM so you don't bounce off the rev limiter. Just be VERY CAREFUL downshifting in MM, the lag from 3-2 and 2-1 can sometimes cause the car not to respond for a second and could cause you to get into an accident, so play around with MM at night in low traffic until you get used to it. Takes a while but after that it's very easy to control and you can shift smoothly.

Seeing this from a poster with the name "homeless drunk" sufficiently scares the hell out of me.

Its called brake boosting, and ask any professional 1/4 mile driver. Thats the right way to launch an AUTO and yes you can LAUNCH an auto. Not better than a manual but you can!
