I don't know the source, but the ecomodder wiki lists the 3rd generation (97-02) ford escort as 19.8 sq ft. The unibody is shared with the 2nd generation car (91-96) so I assume it must be close to...

Do you mean you blip it, push in the clutch, then shift, then re-engage the clutch?

If you blip it after you push the clutch in it won't spin the input shaft unless you have some clutch drag.
