disclosure: none of following where preformer on goverment roads, and where preformered using a driving simulator complete with clutch and good old forza 4. 
I think i may have sorted it out. I dont sidestep the clutch but am deffiantly releasing it alot faster than previous and at a higher rpm. The car doesnt bog down at all, just grips and goes and their is only a hint of clutch once i pull up and have a sniff.
