I want to know if anyone else has this problem and can assist me with it. I own a cc sport with manual tramsission. The problem I'm having is when I'm on a slope at a complete stop,the normal balance of clutch and gas pedal for first gear doesnt work. Id have to rev really high and quickly release the clutch and the tires would spin out then il get the power needed for the car to move. If that's not done not enough power will be produced and the car would stall. I don't have this problem on flat surfaces or slight slopes,just on steep slopes. I live on an island in the caribbean so we have hills here. Any suggestions?

Use hill hold/auto hold. Even on some really steep inclines i've never had problems.
Probably driver error ;)

I believe it is something in the electronics that link the brake with the direct fuel injection and/or turbo. With the break engaged the engine is somehow aware. I have not heard this is a problem per se, only that the way to get the necessary power or pick-up is to release the break and wait just about a second before you accelerate. Since you are in an area where there are inclines waiting the necessary duration is probably not safe. I'd go with the auto-hold feature and see if that helps.
