Min rpm to engage clutch
I am planning on purchasing a m6 ls1 f-body in the next few months. Since I have not driven a stick since high school, I talked one of my friends into letting me practice on his 5 speed Honda hybrid. Since I had to get his car above 2k rpm to let out the clutch without stalling, I was wondering how much rpm do you need with the Ls1 to engage the clutch?

^^ True that, the more power a motor has the easier it is to work a clutch...asuming you dont have a cam the size of an oak tree in there..haha...but seriously Lsx m6's are great to drive you'll have no probs.

Yes, torque makes a manual much easier to drive. Not that I recommend it but if you were very easy with the clutch you could probably get the car moving at idle.

go get your honda buddy and show him that without any gas just by letting out slow it will take off on its own mine will get to like 5mph and just cruz haha "Though I walk threw the Valley of the Shadow of Rice, I shall fear no Turbo,for Torque art with me" haha

I don't know about everyone else but on an incline I dont even touch the brake I just let the clutch out til it starts to grab and it'll hold it there all day long

Brake pads are cheaper than clutch disc IMO.

Thanks for all the replies. I figured the min rpm would be a lot lower, although I was not sure if you could let out the clutch on an idling engine without stalling it.

I read this thread and tried to do it at idle the other day at a busy red light (I was the first car at the light) and i stalled out. Thanks guys, made me look like an ******* lol.
