Yeah, i feel the same as you. I usually start off the line with rpm's around 2500 or so, then slip the clutch to get a slight roll going, then let off the clutch fully while giving in more gas, NOT mashing it to the floor. I always get up moving faster this way. After 1st gear at redline, shift to second and i then usually mash it all the way down through the left over gears..Now that i have a turbo, i'm gonna have to retrain myself all over again And yes, the turbo guys slowly use the pedal to get moving..mashing it just bogs the motor really..
