Question for STi owners:
When you're sitting still not moving... instead of letting the clutch out and giving it gas... can you let out the clutch slowly without giving it gas and still have the car move forward without any issues?
I had a rental car in Germany... it had a lot of torque (not as much as the STi)... and you could do that... it tripped me out.

damn I'd never do that in my car, but then I'm a puss with my car.
I'd rather do that in a N.A. car anyday, just because I used to do that in my old BMW 2002.

What really tripped me out the last time I was in Europe was the power and handling of this Citroen sedan I drove once...it had a powerful TDI motor, and yet I thought it was gasoline-powered, plus it had 4 wheel steering, and got soooo deep into turns it was beautiful...

Torque is fun. My neighbor used to give me rides in his Viper from time to time and he would start froma stop in third all the time, and he did so as easily as he start our cars from 1st... if not easier.

Your wife is a manual and I rode her!
LOL! (Sorry, recycled Zoeb joke).
I beg to differ however... you can't do it in all manuals... My sisters old Civic couldn't... nor could my old accord. So HA!

btw, Riding in something with a manual doesn't mean you know how to drive one, TIA
