Yea i feel slow compared to the rest of traffic at the light going green. But I attribute that to my lack of skill with a manual. I baby it to not burn up the clutch.

What do you mean? like pansy it in slowly? That's what's going to put wear on it, when you ride the clutch and take your time to engage it. The car isn't slow in first, the problem exists between the seat and steering wheel.
