Car shudders/chatter when engaging in 1st

I just purchased an '06, and I noticed that the car shudders just a little when taking off in 1st gear at around 1200 RPM. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this in a brand new stock clutch? I hear the team clutch chatter and the marcel might be thinner for a sports car.

I was told to use a higher RPM when starting off in first. That makes the shudder and rattles go away.

Yeah I also have a 2006 and I have found that starting at a bit higher RPM and slipping the clutch into engagement a bit more eliminates the shudder. I only really get the shudder when I am trying to conserve gas around town...funny, huh?
