power or what?

hey everybody, i just got myself my first car and guess what it was...
and 89 240. i already replaced the window regulator on the driver window and i had the electrical done for the entire rear end and its all good now...

now for my question, shes a deusy and a long one so hold on.

im new to 5 spd, but im used to it now and for some reason if i try to spin the tires i get no results. i can drop the clutch as hard as i want from anywhere from 4-6000 rpm in first and still not even get a squeal.
now my car came with 17" rims and lo profile tires so i have pretty good traction but i dont think that could be the culprit.
your all thinking right now that my clutch is shit, but i tested that too, i did the lug test and had my dad drive it around and some other people as well as 2 friends that have had the exact same car who both say they can get their 240 to spin its tires right into 3rd gear... . but i do manage to make it stink when i ride the hell out of it (does not happen very much.)

now since the 240's have a hydraulic clutch, is there still an adjustor? or is there any way that an adjustor could change this situation.

if anybody could email me or message me or even leave some help here for me that would be nuts.

thanks for readin this boring story, ill try and get some pics of my new baby up soon.
