Best Wheels

I'm curious (have vaguely tested my theory)...

I drive a manual transmission car, and I've noticed that if I am stopped on a hill in first gear and release the clutch, the wheels lock (and the car stalls). If I am driving on the highway (>100 kph) and my engine stalls, will the same thing happen?

If it does, what is your advice to avoid an accident? My thinking would be to switch to neutral and try to coast to the shoulder.

im about to get lighter wheels for my car, alot lighter! driving on steel wheels now, and i drive a stick. whil wheels do anything for torque? or change the way my car feels while turning, or engauging the clutch from a dead stop?

I was watching The Fast and the Furious 3 the other day and saw Vin Diesel at the end. He reminded me of the scene in the first movie where, in the last "race", he drives that monster of a muscle car. When he comes off the light, the front of his car pops up from the torque being generate by the rear wheels. That reminded me I had seen some races on a TV show with the cars doing the same thing. Is there some sort of sub-culture in racing where people intend to do this? Why don't all the supercars and new muscle cars do this? Does it have to do with the types of wheels being used on the cars or maybe their gear ratio or the way the driver times his clutch use (as opposed to other racers clutch timing)? Most importantly, is there some special term used in reference to this? Thanks.

I have a Nitro RC car with a pull start engine. I've finally got the engine to start, the only thing is, the wheels immediately start spinning... I don't think this is normal, and may perhaps need some clutch tuning that I know nothing about. I have to hold the brakes on the transmitter so the car doesn't move, as soon as I release the brakes the car takes off, not very quickly like but moves forward nonetheless. I'm not sure what might need to be done, any help you provide will be greatly appreciated.
