If I try to feather at 1500 the car wants to lug and die as you saw today - doh! 2000 rpms does much better but it has a very small on/off window unlike my JWT Street so that part sux and the car revs real easy so its hard to hold that rpm without looking. Granted I can "pop" the clutch and it holds better than the tires :-)
Overall it isn't too bad. Between the clutch and suspension I just make sure to piss before any rides over 15 minutes :-)
