You still have not answered my question tho. Whats so special about me? And I can shift faster then the video, did it today just to see. Just don't like the feeling of trying to rip the stick off the base.

I always say "shift fast, not hard". Had a friend that would attempt to punch through the dash when he would 2-3 shift

WHen I had my 11 second fox gt I could shift the gears and the motor nose nor rpm ever dropped. That was some dang fast shifting. It takes a lot of seat time to get good like that.

if you know your car and you drive it a lot youll be able to shift so much better but you have to be willing to teach yourself and give yourself the seat time to do it.

Driver mod is the most important mod on anything fast. I never understood how people miss gears when racing. Granted it happens to best of us, but if you know your car, then you should be able to do it time and time again.

It feels like the trans just falls into second. Like you're not even actually putting it all the way into gear.
