Gas?
I have a question. When i park my firebird on a flate surface, I can let off the clutch slowly and i do not need to give it any gass, it will just start rolling. It can even be on a slight hill. It idles where it should at 700. Its a 2.8 WC T-5. Is this normal?

In most cars as long as you let the clutch out slowly enough you can get them moving without pressing the accelerator down at all.
Yep. completely normal. If I have enough time, I can even get my 90hp ranger to get going on a small hill 
Back when I was 15 though, that's how my dad tought me how to use the clutch. He took me out into an empty parking lot, and had me get rolling a bunch of times without using the gas. Holy hell was that frusterating
