Best way to shift fast:
While flooring it, keep your hand firmly pushing the shifter towards the next gear. The torque on the trans keeps you from popping out of gear. Right when your foot hits the clutch it releases it. Aand bam. Powershift.
Granted ive never actually tried this lol

Haha I thought I was the only one. Sometimes I get it right and it feels so good. You need to be accelerating at a decent pace though.
2-3 is the easiest shift ever. I **** up 1-2 more often. BPS shifter needs adjusting too. NLS is great but I should really use it less.

I have the same thing, 1-2 is brutal most of the time, seems to be a slight pause before the tranny will let me pull it into 2nd.
2nd to 3rd seems to be the hardest for most people i know 1st to 2nd is easy for me it was always trying to speed shift into 3rd that got me but i had it down pat when i had my SS/SC and once i got the LNF its so nice to be able to out drive people esp when they cant drive hahah
Just this morning I was on my way to work thinking "Huh, I wonder how fast I can shift?" The answer is not fast at all. Ended up grinding 3rd right as I was passing some young girl in a Cavy. She was probably like "da fuq?!"
Oh well.
Oh well.
Mine used to evaporate the tires all the way through 2nd even on 93 octane. I never had access to E-85 for mine unfortunately. I still ran 4.2 60-100 times on 93 stock turbo.
if i post a video i want it to be over dramatic and intense haha
heart beating....its times explosions and more explosions
bloopers will consist of miss shifts and over revs to 9000

I always feel like I'm hurting the car with 1-2 and letting the clutch out too early... its like the RPMS are dropping *clutch out* TTTTHHHHUNK!!!! rpms crash into second and the whole car spasms like an epileptic at a rave
So much this. I'll never forget the first day driving around town. Started off from a red light all calm,clutch in, second, let clutch out, CHIRPCRASHTHUNKBANG. Now its like a 5 sec delay (or at least feels like it). My friends even as why I take so long.
Honestly my worst shift is the 1-2 shift simply because I never do it and it comes on so violently, but I have no boost by gear or low boost setting for 1st and 2nd, so its just straight 30 lbs right when it comes on
I can usually nail out the rest of them no problem pretty quick.
