I havent drove alot of 5 speeds but the car i am looking at is a 01 gt 5speed. Welp when i let out of the clutch really slow on flat ground it gose but kinda wants to die... I drove a 97 and i drive alot of new 06's stangs at work and u can let out on the clutch slow and give it no gas it will take off.. I know this sounds dumb but just making sure if this is ok are what. B/w the car runs great and all just wanting to know

Mine's is like that.

If i let out the clutch with no gas it will stall out.

I've never driven a car that didn't need a little gas when starting

True, yeah, you can - and it really teaches you how to feather the clutch as you have to really feel what's going on...
Of course it's not doing the clutch disk a lot of good when you do this - slippage=wear. But there are worse things...

Yes, I can get my car into 3rd gear without ever touching the gas pedal. On flat surface no down hill or up hill.

If you have rear end gears it's easier. WIth 4.10's you could probably start from a stop in 3rd gear without much trouble

Its worse now with cams/LTs....but thats about the only place where lowend powerloss is visable.
And yes it did that stock. Now my dad international truck (466 I believe). TORQUE! No gas needed whatsoever. He has helped people get out of ditches by just coming off the clutch lol.
Extra low..ha, you can be at a 35* incline pulling 20 cars and just come off the clutch and it will go lol.
