I have done it a few times maybe 3, but while driving in a really
slow situation in like a parking lot and went to 3rd gear instead
of 1st.

You know, I'm sure I will...but the 993TT is much eaiser on the clutch than my late 996 with it's "fly by wire".

I have yet to master taking off slowly on a consistent basis. So far the safest thing for me has been to let the guy in front go off first for a second or two so I can start off quickly. First gear is so low, that I just usually end up launching from a start.

Mike,

Good seeing you at ViperBob's on Sunday. I hear you love your new suspension. After brakes, that is where I am headed.

Sounds like you will be back at Bob's soon for a new clutch!

Hi Hal,

It was good seeing you as well. The PSS9's are awesome The car really feels planted and the ride quality is a bit improved as well. In talking to Bob, it sure sounds like you have a rocket in the making.
I'm definitely doing my job in insuring that I will be back at Bob's for a LWF setup!

Anyone that states they have never stalled..............is compensating for something. We all have been there.

I haven't stalled my tt yet, I take off at an idle I have poped the clutch to quickly and thought I had stalled it but car was still runnig when quickly put clutch back in, now my 96 c4s was another matter I did stall it several times with my launch style, it would **** me off because it couldn't be driver error I know it was the torquless cars fault so I'm very pleased that the tt has so much more low end torque and refuses to stall.

I have no problem with the Z06 or Boxster. Maybe I should drive the TT more... Hmmm. That sounds like a good idea.
