ok. I got my first stick shift car which is a super car about 300 HP. since I am new on driving stick shift and I dont know how can I tell if I have made any damage on the car ... (if possible can anyone tell me how to avoid any damage ?)
Are there any possibility that any damage can cause on the speed on the car? I dont know if I feel that wrong or not. I always feel I cannot go as fast as when I just bought my car.
Also, how can I tell if I "break in" my new car correctly or not ? anyone know how to break it in right ?

Have someone teach you how to drive stick in a less powerful vehicle (it will be easier to manage). After you know some of the basics you can fine-tune your technique. My dad had me sit in our driveway which sloped down to our house. He had me drive the car up a slope, then put it in neutral and coast back down. For new stick drivers, getting going from a standstill is the most challenging thing. It will get you comfortable with the technique faster than driving around the city and it will save you the embarrasment of choking your car in the middle of a busy intersection.

Owner manual should tell how to Break In your car. What I do is both city and highway driving. This allows the engine to operate at various speeds. I may not get it up over 70 MPH for a few weeks and then do a few jumps to 80-100 MPH on the freeway, and only hold that speed for a few minutes and drop back "slow" to 70. But, this how I do it, many opinions on breaking in a car.
On your clutch, you will know when you doing something wrong, you will smell the clutch getting too hot or burning a little. You can only do this so many times before you going to have major Clutch Trouble. Learn to let the clutch out slow and as it begin to pull the car slowly give it gas. It take time to learn but you will learn the feel. You not want to be giving the engine a lot of RPMs and let out on the clutch. Just LEARN as you feel the clutch start to pull, then slowly giving gas and release the clutch. IF, you have a hand brake to your right, on a hill until you learn hold the car from rolling with the brake and then as you do the clutch/gas let the hand brake down. DO NOT get dependent on this, in time you will learn how to use your foot brake/clutch as your clutch begin to grab, let off brake and move foot to the gas.

learn your gears, practice and pay attention to your coordination.
