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.

When a car isnt moving then suddenly goes as fast as possible, it makes a lot of torque. That torque is being applied to the rear wheels trying to spin them as fast as possible. This creates an imbalance in the center of gravity, pushing it back, and as a result, the front end lifts a bit. Or a lot.
