We have syncros, therefore there is no reason to double clutch. Syncros do the job for you.

No S2000 needs to be double clutched. Ever.

Explanation?

I also don't "need" a lot of things but they sure are nice..

Better yet, can you explain why you would??

Double clutching on my old cars had a noticeable improvement in shifting. They had syncros too..

Coasting in neutral will get you worse mpg than having it in gear engine braking. Engine braking uses zero gas. Coasting in neutral uses small amount but still more than engine braking.

I disabled my clutch switch so I do not have to push the clutch in when starting the car. I don't like the idea of having a lot of force on the thrust bearings with zero oil pressure...

That's a very bad driving technique.

Like I said, if someone wants to explain why double clutching on the s2k doesn't provide any benefit I'm all ears.
