So the light turns green and I bog it, bad. He has an auto no doubt and a lot more low end torque so this dem F-150 is pulling on me quite a bit. Then I reach 5K, hit the power band, chirp in second and blow his doors off.
So the question is, without burning my clutch out or dumping my clutch ( It's a freaking pickup truck at a red light, I'm not gunna dump the dem clutch) is there anyway not to bog it?
Do auto FR-S's pull on manuals with out a revving them out and dumping the clutch?

#2 How bad is chirping in second for my car? I know it's just a tire squeak and shifting into 3rd without letting the rpm drop is the same thing. But should I be holding my clutch in untill the rpm and trannys sync and then shift? Or is just jumping gear to gear as fast as I can not TOO bad for it? ( I shift pretty dang fast ) I don't wanna mess my car up, thanks.

Wait.... two questions, or five? I'm kind of confused by what you are asking about.
