its not good for the trans. If you notice it will shift harder if you do it manually. Also, your in a corola with a 2ZZ-FE. You not going to get of the line much faster, if even at all. If u wanted a car with a manual shift you should have gotten a manual or a Camry V6 with sequential shift.

There isn't a 2ZZ-FE. Did you mean the 2ZR-FE?

once in a while it's all in good fun but i dont think u should do it consistently cause forcing ur engine to shift might shorten its life....i doubt it'll kill ur engine right away but down the road u might end up with a lot more problems than other owners

^Its actually the transmission, the engine doesn't really matter unless you are running to redline in every take off.

Just don't do it too much. Not good for the transmission.
