You answered your own question. If your clutch is slipping, your gears are grinding and the host of other problems you are complaining about while taking off, I 'd say your car is telling you to break me in properly. How many miles does your cousin's car have? People believe the car gets stronger after 5000 miles. Could be the case here.

Also what mods, does your cousin have compared to yours? Some cars respond better to mods than others.

Sounds like a glazed clutch.....ditto.

Remember you folks who are inclined to dump the clutch!!!!Do it HIGH!!!
The stock tires are very sticky and if you don't break them loose in the dump then the next link is the clutch.....which will more then willingly glaze over.
