your car is limited in first and second gear. This means that all of the available torque is not delivred to the wheels in those gears. Sabb did this so people wouldnt be burning rubber all the time. Anyway... if you want to get a good start from first (which is genreally tricky in a front wheel drive car) try holding the tachometer, or the "revs" at like 3,000 RPM's and letting off the clutch. It is basiclly trial and error. You have to find a nice relationship between how high you rev and how fast you let go of the clutch. "dropping" the clutch is when you dont ease off of it at all but rather drop it or just let it pop in and this usully is bad for the clutch and ends up spinning the tires. hope this helps. and by the way, im not a real doctor.
