Steep Driveway and the 360 F1

I've been looking for a 360 for a bit. My preference would be a 6sp but I don't mind an F1 if it can cope with my driveway, which I will attempt to describe briefly. I realize it's pretty hard to describe this with any accuracy but I'll do my best:

Getting out, it's essentially a climbing "U" shape with the leg closest to the garage being nearly level. I have to back about 50ft out one leg of the "U", into a corner, then move forward immediately up and around to the left. It's pretty steep and the corner is kind of tight. Tight enough to get a little limited-slip tire squirm in my GT3 going up the hill.

In that car, I round the corner just over idle, then accelerate up to street level - which is about 100 feet from the apex. So it's not very long, just steep.

How steep? I used to have a Lotus Esprit S4s. When stock, it could not accelerate above idle going up the steepest part of the hill. I walk my road bike up the stairs rather than ride it to save the strain on cold knees. More than about 1" of snow and I can't get out in my snow-tire-equipped BMWs. One amusing morning, trying to get my wife's old VW out in the snow, I got stuck, applied the brakes, then slid backwards and sideways, pinning us between two retaining walls. That was fun.

All this prose for a simple question: am I likely to be able to get an F1 clutch to fully engage up this hill or will it slip all the way up every single day? Maybe a better-formed question is: is there a minimum speed below which the system is always slipping the clutch? Can a PIS adjustment help the situation?

Thanks for any thoughts.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Still on the fence about it. If only there were more 6sp cars available...

 

Heh.

It won't. No sidewalk and little camber on the street so the transitions are very smooth.

 

Noted. I was hoping you'd chime in.

Can an aggressive (which I interpret to mean "early engagement") PIS adjustment mitigate the situation at all or is that in the noise?

EDIT: Skimming the service manual, I see that PIS is calculated. It appears you can modify the clutch travel value to cause earlier/later clutch engagement.
