help! i think i broke it[NG/NF ign. rough running]

[Livolsi, Stephane]

And when you do this, do you get a nasty burning clutch smell?  The reason I ask is because the fastest acceleration I got out of my 5ktq was doing what you describe, but the resulting smell told me I didn't want to do that very often.

I had to cross 4 lanes of highway and picked an opening.  Had to get through fast.  The Audi grin was definitely there.
