I had to shift without a clutch in my prelude when the cable broke. Never done it in the S2k.

I used to autocross with a guy who could do that in a modified datsun 510. He'd shift at redline, no clutch, gas pedal to the floor. It was really amazing to hear. Just a slight drop in rpm. He was a former drag racer. No idea how to do it in the S2000.

Sounds like we have something in common. See sig.
