If the car is bogging its in the tune up, the clutch setup, the suspension setup, tire pressure, ect.
A stick car shouldnt leave like an Automatic. In low HP automatic car, the best launch is acheived through "dead hooking" the car.
While a stick car requires
some wheelspin as its pitch rotating (on the launch) to build wheelspeed and not bog the motor.
Watch a well sorted out stick car leave the starting line, its pretty exciting, Steve Ficacci's A/Stick 68' Camaro comes to mind. This car is a pretty good example of what i'm talking about, the tires slip as its wheelstanding on the launch.
You cant fight the laws of physics and expect to go fast, simply put, the less rotating weight, the quicker it will accellerate.
In conclusion, slip the clutch or the tires, if this is a car racing on a Prepped track with good tires, if not then it will be tough to get it to hook with a slight tire spin. Instead they will give up, meaning they will spin uncontrollably and the car will slow down.
Street tires will definetly just Give up and spin uncontrolably, where-as the correct launch would be started with a 1/4 revolution of spin, then a slight "skipping" of the tire as it slips/hooks/slips/hooks while the car pitch rotates.
