Re: I feel like I'm not improving as I should...

pre emptively bring clutch foot to roughly where FP is
hold there until u actually need to launch
when launch just do a mini see saw

no stalling

Re: BMW M6 getting stick

lol poor america
half of drivers under 25 drive a manual in aus
your avg 20 yr old chooses manual for cost saving
the rest do it because your usual performance import is only available in manual

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

for normal shifting
do you all tend to clutch in and move shifter in one motion(simultaneously)?
or do you conciously floor the clutch first before even moving the shifter?
