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.
