Idea for Acceleration

OK, calling all electrical engineering nerds! The idea is based on a camera flash. Cameras charge up a what I think is a capacitor with some insane volts, then unleash it all at once. Well, I want something like that in my SE. A capacitor that stores say 4volts, then unloads it upon accelleration. So basically, whenever the car is completely idle (like at the start, or rolling into a corner) it charges this capacitor, and when the gas is hit again, it dumps whatever charge it has. It doesn't need to be much, just a little "boost". It would be most effective off the line, but it would help a little on tight tracks also.

any thoughts guys?
