Why does a cars front lift shortly before a launch?

Question

I was watching a car video and noticed that every time a car launches using launch mode, the front end of the car will rise a little just before the actual launch ([Example](https://youtu.be/opfbaluY7lc?t=150)). I understand why a car’s nose might rise during acceleration, but I don’t understand what happens during launch mode that causes this.

if you try spinning a fairly heavy wheel with all your power using your hands, your body will more or less turn to the opposite direction of the spin. the same happens with the body of the car
