Default Clutch kinda weak

not that its worn, I dont drift or over speed, I need the car more so than I love it.

Is this a typical feeling where you just feel that clutch isnt strong enough. Is this a quattro thing?

You have to be more specific. Does it slip? Or is it too soft??

it does if you look at dyno chart at low rps you get more torque so at a 1000 you will get like 50 instead of lets say 30. After doing stage 1 to mine its a lot jumpier of the line. But i am lucky enough to get front track and not quattro So im pretty alright there, in your case that is an issue For a low powered car, when on track, front wheel comes in first, then awd, then rwd. In most series' thats the case :P

Yes, I think it's an issue of low torque rather than a weak clutch. I had the same issue with my old Turbo WRX.
