i've been blippin my throttle when shifting recently and i've found that shifting has been smoother, even from 1-2. Wierd, but i think it likes it.

 

I can't heal toe.. Im too tall and my legs are too big. Every time I even try to tilt my foot to the left my thiegh hits the bottom of the wheel.. NOT cool...

IMHO the seat hight in the S should be lower from the factory, or we should have a tilt wheel option.

 

Double clutching is a waste of time and effort.

 

rev matching is what an aftermarket exhaust is all about, imo-
i love the sound of the "blip" from my spugen dual ovals!!

just learned to rev match with paddle shifters last week driving the new vanquish... now thats a challenge!
and its a wonderful sound in that car!
you have to rev exactly at the time of the shift since there is no clutch (right at the shift is the only time the engine is disengaged)-

 

LOL @ Brian Spillner...

 

power shift is shifting with out using the clutch. If you can rev match ur engine speed when u shift it will go right into gear with no clutch. U have to know ur car very well pay attention to where ur rpms...dont practice on ur s if you want to keep ur tranny.

 

I've always had the impression that power shifting was simply staying floored while clutching and shifting. The method you're talking about would make no sense for racing, because it would actually be slower.

 

is that true?...

when you're engine braking you don't waste gas?....

 

rev match suppose make it easier on the tranny. and in my opinion it is a better transition when the gear goes in. plus it is cool when you come to the stop light rev matching.

 

I believe so.

As long as the engine is above 1200 rpm or so anyway.

I usually leave the car in gear when braking until 1.5krpm or so, and then press in the clutch before it comes to a full stop.
