I drove mine for about a 25 mile jaunt again tonight and the slip isn't as bad as I thought. I am always just too much on the throttle. It will actually go up hills pretty good under 3,000. I just have to remember to get it in third and drive normally. It's a fast car for what it is and I enjoy the heck out of it! This car will fry the tires at will and will rev to 7,000 no problem.
