shift with no clutch
Shifting without letting off the gas is power shifting...... Crappy for gas mileage but helps the RPMS stay up when you hit the next gear.
Done it before and IMO I don't see that it would hurt the car.

Especially with a turbo car, the only problem is with the new clutch materials, sometimes with too many rpm they don't want to grab.

i'm assuming doing this you're not letting the revs drop to the proper RPM for the next gear...this isn't good for the synchros and clutch in the long run, but doing i a few times in a drag race (on the TRACK
) shouldn't "hurt"
