If you're struggling at driving your car off of the line without excessive RPMs. I might suggest the following. Go to the parking lot or whatever away from traffic. And start from a stop without using the gas pedal. Do this 10 or 20 or 30 times or as many as it takes. After that you can use the gas pedal again.

the internets make me laugh. my question was for "moderate acceleration," not "normal driving." that means i'm not burning it out, but i *am* getting on it a bit. it also doesn't mean i do this every time.
RPM90 this was a while ago, so I can't remember exactly. I don't really do launches or burnouts, but my wife drives the car on occasion and it's possible that she downshifted poorly (her 1 year of experience on stick vs my 18). thanks for the info, i'll give it a go.
