Upshift: 2-3

Downshift: 4-3

I love slowly coming to a stop by rev matching into 3rd at about 5K rpms and letting off throttle...the deceleration exhaust tone in 3rd with the top down is pure sex! Also, did you know that if you engine brake down to idle you are burning essentially zero fuel while the car slows down?

Going from "P" to "D" It feels so good when I get it right.

3-2 downshifts are boss. heel-toe 3->2 right before going into a nicely banked turn..


favorite upshift would have to be a perfectly executed 1-2
