So, from a stop, try easing off the clutch in first gear at idle, roll for a few feet, and then hit the gas. You’ll soon figure out how to get both feet working together for big fun.

This is the way. You don't need to provide this car any gas upon pulling out. Slowly and lightly just let out the clutch and it will start to roll without any gas. Eventually, you'll get the timing just right and be able to floor it in Mexico Safely.
Go to some large giant parking lot and practice. Watch some YouTube videos as well. If Chevy gets the idea you wore your Trans out of being a greenhorn they will refuse to honor the warranty.
