Narrative:The solo airline transport pilot reported he was practicing flying from the right seat in preparation for a flight instructor certificate. During the engine start, the pilot indicated he inadvertently applied too much throttle prior to starting the engine. When the engine started, the airplane surged ahead, and he was unable to stop or turn it in time to avoid colliding with a nearby parked and unoccupied airplane. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or problems with the airplane.
