the basic question is:

if you are accelerating from a standing start, disregarding the launch aspect, full pelt in 1st and second, if you lift off, does the car still accelerate?

and, if so, why?

the reaso i ask is because i have had a bit of an arguement with someone and i reckon that you would still be under the influence of the momentumt/inertia/forward motion of accelerating to not stop accelrating the absolute instant you dipped the clutch

does this make any sense?

and where can i find some proper evidence of this other than my eyes on the speedo
