Nice video and shifting. I would like to race you sometime and see how my shifting stacks up against that. You would definately get me on the launch as I dont have much experience. I've let those broken diff horror stories get to me. I get my 4.77 in Monday. I cant wait!

Ever get a chirp in 4th with that gear? Just curious.

The broken diff stories used to get to me too. But thanks to wisconsin I built up my confidence and went out one night and just did it. I owned the car since dec.04 w/o doing one single burnout until about a month ago. Thanks to Wisconsin I am now bustin out 6k clutch drops on a regular basis with no problems.

they just have to be done right. IMO far fewer S2000 diffs would break if it weren't for people launching them improperly.

if you launch correctly, does it still hurt the clutch?

if by powershifting you mean not letting up on the gas, then no.

if you watch the video, watch my right knee/foot bounce out and then back down when i shift.
