Tell me you are a diesel driver without telling me. By the time you get an average gas car moving the light is red again if you don't rev it to at least 1500

Ah, you mean that because diesel cars have more torque, you can do things like starting uphill with just the clutch.

I was wondering, because I certainly didn't opt for a handbrake start for the fun of it. My car's engine simply died, if I lifted the clutch too far without accelerating and 'too far' was far below getting enough torque to not roll downhill.
