Short shift at 5500 rpm from first to second.

I wasn't on it until Dog went by as you can tell. Even then I didn't power shift it when I needed to play catch up. If we had continued into fifth it would have been a route but it wouldn't have shown up on the camera. The black S was just getting going.
By the way, the silver S was totally on it.

Hey Purple, I went out and bought this miracle software at $120 just for you so I could post this stuff on the internet. Now I need to shoot some races.

It makes me squeamish every time I see someone accelerate hard to 100+ and then throw the transmission into neutral like that. It is SO dangerous.

Unless you are sitting in traffic at a redlight, ALWAYS have your car in gear. Whether you are moving, stopped, parked, etc.

Those are the obvious reasons. You made it seem as though it were damaging to the vehicle itself.

Thanks for clearing it up!
