That's not how hill assist works. If you're on the flat in 'D' and take your foot off the brake the car will move instantly forward. If your on a hill, when you take your foot off the brake to move t0 the gas, hill assist stops you rolling backwards for 2 seconds
Any other way and the car would be a total pain in a slow crawl
Regarding a fast start....how fast do you want to go? Just put the selector in S and give half throttle and you'll take off like a startled deer. You may consider a different strategy at the drag strip but applying gas while holding the brake will cause oil sheer in the torque convertor and overheating if you do it for too long or too often. Given that its not designed for this type of abuse why do it when its so fast off the mark in standard S mode?
