Oh nvm then it sounds like I drive like a ***** lol
I do put the gas on a bit as I let out the clutch but more for a smooth transition rather than gassing it and dumping the clutch.

Trust me when I tell you he won't be offended if you offer too much

OP sounds like spoiled rich kid. Maybe needs some driving lessons along with the new clutch.
