I'd say the worst part about a manual transmission is the lag at takeoff (for me at least.) I think I am doing something wrong. When I drive the Mustang takeoffs are very slow, then when I hop in an auto, I can just floor it and get a great takeoff. Whats the best way to jump off the line (dont worry Im not doing any street racing....never have), If I rev it high enough and then completely take my foot off the clutch pedal without stopping at the friction point, will the car just buck forward, or will it jump off the line (or will it spin the tires). I am being robbed of my favorite part of driving.....quick takeoffs. Someone please help me!
