This is kinda neat. So far it seems like about half the people let the clutch start catching first. I usually apply the gas first and I thought that's how the majority does it. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I was just wondering because I remembered this tutorial for beginners that said to feel the clutch catch first, and then apply gas. I thought that was weird because wouldn't that be more difficult, especially for beginners? I guess that's less wear on the clutch though.

Also, when I do it that way, I've never been able to "feel" the clutch catch. (Cuz of my shoes maybe.) I only know it's catching when I see the car start moving or hear the engine slowing down. Ah well wutever. Just wanted to see what you people do.
