Niether. I just in a nice smooth move, nail the gas and let the clutch at at the same time. The car launches a little boggy, but about 3500 it comes alive and roars away.

It all depends on your set up, where you get your power (at what rpm), and wether it is awd, rwd, or fwd. I prefer the slip.

That's cause you have no torque. I like to drop the clutch, and watch my passengers fly out.

OMFG when you take off from a light in normal street driving you are slipping the clutch...

Why do you always have to NEVER agree with anyone!!!
