2000 ZX3 Revs Hang During Upshifts

I've noticed the revs don't drop much when you declutch while in gear,
basically forcing you to slip the clutch a bit after upshifts.  1st to 2nd
is particularly bad.  I test drove two of the same model, and they both did
the same, plus I read a review that mentioned the same behavior, so I assume
it is normal.  The revs don't 'hang' like that in neutral on either car I
drove.  Only while in gear.  Any easy way to adjust this?  The car could be
a blast to drive, and I thought I would get used to it, but I still cringe
thinking of all the unnecessary wear I'm putting on the clutch.  Thanks.

Basically you're a cringing Winkle. No thanks necessary. And the easiest way
is, for you to adjust. A Ferrari is a blast to drive! Focus=Sleepeze
