    Real cars don't power the front wheels, they lift them

    Dump the clutch with higher revs... force it to do something other than take off in a calm manner... I take no liability for the car or any car breaking :P

    shouldnt have any reduction as there is no torque converter to cause the reduction.. Clutch may be slipping, next time your driving along slowly push the clutch in whilst still on the throttle and take note when the clutch starts to engage if its relatively close the the floor the clutch will more then likely be worn down
