My typical method of driving a manual car typically involves a "blip" in the accelerator with a gradual reduction in accelerator depression in an amount equal to the rate of clutch release up until the point of full engagement. Then at that point gradually reapplying the desired amount of accelerator. Right or wrong for daily driving that's been my style.

What I've been having more success than failure with in the ZL1 over the last couple of days is starting with the accelerator blip, but then holding it at the desired position, roughly 1K RPM give or take (still working on the right number), then beginning the clutch release throughout, maintaining the constant position of the accelerator.

I've only done this a few times over the last day or so, so I'm still trying to determine the rate of success with this method, or whether it's completely random. Also still trying to nail down the right RPM for this method.

Thoughts? Anyone else able to give this a shot?
I'm pretty close to this, without the blip. I just end up giving it more throttle than should be needed and slipping the clutch enough so that when it does cut power I still have enough revs/clutch slip to keep it going.
I'd rather not abuse the clutch so much but it seems the only way to deal with this without getting rear ended when it stalls.
