Aired out!

Cool weather means power right? Aired her out a little tonight. What does a slipping clutch start out feeling like? I didn't see any over revving but just a faint change (1second) when at full throttle. Hard to explain.....

Try doing a few pulls from 4th or 5th. If the motor seems to be revving faster while the car is not accelerate the way you would expect, your clutch is probably slipping. How many miles are on the car? Still on the original clutch?

Usually you will aslo smell the clutch after it has slipped.

Doug118 is infamous around these parts
Easiest way to find out if your clutch is slipping is to cruise around 60mph with the car in 5th and floor it. If the clutch doesn't slip under that kind of load, you should be good
