"feathering" the clutch is what you do when you let off the pedal slow enough not to stall when driving normally.... in racing terms... dont just let of the clutch all at once and hope for the best, ride it a bit... and 7K rpms is too high... try about 4500..
also, what is your rear tire pressure?

no, 4.5k is more than sufficient for a 2.00 60'.

After reading your post I would recommend you kill yourself.

The 8 is a twisties machine for twisted drivers like me. Not a drag machine. Second mortgage your house for a GT-R. That will get you down the strip.
