I get people wanting to race at least once a week. Two days ago, a black G35 with some heavy-*** looking chrome and black rims tried to take me out. I smoked that dude - wasn't even close. When I slowed down to wait for him, his girlfriend looked pissed...lol

But this is what I think I know, lol: Feathering the clutch is that when you are at the line, you put in 1st gear and let the clutch looses to the point that your car almost die. And your gas pedal is feathering, also.

I thought I was right but I just wanted to make sure, this is what ask.com says, "feathering the clutch" is when you're doing the balancing act (like when you're holding the car on a hill).

If you can romp the gas and feather the clutch keeping the rpms where you want them, by the time the clutch is fully let out you'll be going, I would guess, 15-20 mph.
