YEa..i 've been learning how to drive my gst on my street.just messin around..i'm going parkin a lot soon ....but i belive i'm lettin the clutch out to quick.when taking off..like sometimes is stalls..or sometimes it like kicks but then i'm going fine..its pissin me off..because i herd that some people "ride the Clutch"..and i don't want to do that. so i think thats why i'm lettin the clutch out too quick..do you think i should stay on the clutch a little longer when taking off? From experiance, what do you guys do takin off?

bring it up to 9k rpm, then drop the clutch.

I have a custom 4g63 TT that allows me to get to 18,000 rpm. all of the cylinders are half the size, and i have twice as many.

Okay the best way to learn to drive stick is to go find and drive on the busiest road in the city you can find. I'm serious about this too. When I first got my 5 speed mustang i took it out in the country for a couple hours and learned a little then i said F*ck it I'm taking it to college. Well the road i took to college is the busiest/longest road in the city. You learn REAL quick how to drive the car, let me tell you. I stalled it 2 or 3 times in the city and after that was good to go (haha i accidentally peeled outa couple times cause i didnt want to stall). Lol people will probably get pissed at you for a few seconds but you learn to drive really quick with all the stop and go driving. Just my 2 cents...

i suppose that would work for some people because the stress helps them concentrate, but if you dont know how to drive a manual very well, you can become frightened by something, and in the confusion, you could press on the gas instead of the clutch or brake, and hit another car. I know this from trying to teach a friend to drive...The more cars there were, the more errors she made, and she almost cried, because it was so stressful.
