Then, while still coasting, I will hold the clutch down and rev the motor real loud, like to 6,000 rpm, and dump the clutch while I am approaching the red light. That gets the attention of the ladies for sure. This is the proper red light approach. When the light turns green, rev to 7,200 --no more than this or could be harmful to motor--and of course dump clutch. The car seems to really like being driven this way, and of course the ladies love it.
