Not if you let the clutch out slowly.

that's an advantage of having low end torque.

heres some tech for ya jackie:

ive started in 2nd or 3rd and gotten going w/o using the gas . it takes a lot of practice, but since i have 4.10s,it makes it very easy. i dont know if i could do this this stock 3.27 gearing, but my 4.10s are just fun. i actually learned to drive a standard this way. my dad told me to get the car going w/o any gas. it teaches good clutch control. just IMO

I have to agree with Jackie here - This tech thread is a little embarressing =D


Its no challenge at all to get the car rolling in 4th gear (on level ground), or possibly even 5th. I know I've messed around and done 4th before with no problems. Its just patience, because it takes time for the power of the idle to push the car up to adequate speed for the clutch to fully engage.

Now quickly, someone start talking about burnouts before Stangnet falls apart.

lets see if you can do burnouts without using the gas, now that would be impressive

It definitely is not technical, but it gets important REAL fast when you have to drive on ice in a real wheel car that has 250-300+ HP!!!!!
