As mentioned above, ive been somewhat riding the clutch more in 1st and realized that i have to give it more revs at the get go. Where do you guys typically rev to when starting? In the past, ive typically tried to keep it under teh 1000 rpm, but i think with this car, especially on any sort of incline, thats near impossible... unless im just not used to the car yet...
1k is too low, in my opinion. 1.5-2k is probably more of what I do, but it happens so fast I don't really say there that long. Remember, you can be between 1k and 5k on the accelerator but the speed at which you release is the clutch is what moves you, not the throttle.
