Some times I start at lower revs sometimes at higher, it all depends upon what I am doing at that point in time. I will soon be teaching my grandson to drive my car and the very first order of business will be to tape over the tach so he learns how to hear and feel the car instead of driving by a gauge.
Couldn't agree more. Knowing the sound if the car, the muscle memory of the clutch will kick in over time. (Just don't adjust your seat too much
