Feathering the Clutch?
 
Hey right now im learning to drive a clutch in my dads Stealth and i was reading a website and it was talking about feathering the clutch when drag racing and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what this is, how you do it and why, iv never heard of this method before Thanks

That refers to slipping the clutch as you launch. To do this, you keep the motor revved up a little off the line and slip the clutch until you get moving a little to keep from burning out or bogging the motor. If your dad's Stealth is an AWD turbo, try launching at about 6K rpms and send us a video. :D

Thanks for the info, no its not an R/T, its an ES but it has the R/T DOHC engine without the turbo
