help!! jerky launch.. rpm drops

The clutch on the Z is on and off, there is little in between. So you just have to practice to 'slip the clutch' a bit. It can get scary

The clutch on the Z is on and off, there is little in between. So you just have to practice to 'slip the clutch' a bit. It can get scary if you have to start on a steep incline. Make sure you have plenty of room in the front and back of your car to avoid accident.
