this thread forced me to dig up time slips... and count my .605 R/t
since well, always...
Heel-toe or heel-and-toe double-declutching is used before entry into a turn while a vehicle is under braking, preparing the transmission to be in the optimal gear to accelerate out of the turn. One benefit of downshifting before entering a turn is to eliminate the jolt to the drivetrain, or any other unwanted dynamics. The jolt will not upset the vehicle as badly when going in a straight line, but the same jolt while turning may upset the vehicle enough to cause loss of control if it occurs after the turn has begun. Another benefit is that "heel-and-toeing" allows you to downshift at the last moment before entering the turn, after you have started braking and the car has slowed, so the engine speed when the lower gear is engaged will not be too high.
As the power band of most rally cars is high in the rev range, this technique can also be used to ensure that engine rpm does not drop below the power band of the car while under braking. If this happened there would be a delay between the driver accelerating after the corner and when the car responds; this is especially true in turbocharged cars. This technique ensures that maximum power can be reached the instant the brake pedal is released and the accelerator fully depressed

I always thought you were supposed to double-clutch when street racing
ah the smell of burnt clutch....
hey i actually tried it in my friends ep3 the other day its not hard at all i got it down now
It's always easier, in cars that make no power.
its better than a domestic
LOL.its better than a domestic
If by better you mean, handles worse. Accelerates slower, supports a foreign economy, and is made for guys with low testosterone levels. Then yes... it is in fact better.
lmfao
fixed* bout it,lol
Considering the 27-29 MPG both my camaro, and GTO get... I don't think its too bad.
You can't talk. You drive an automatic.lol
Back to being stock and slow
Actually imports have the best handling, quickest Acceleration, Highest WHP, and most expensive vehicles... Honda's aren't the only import...
Tell me one car manufacturer that is not helping out a foreign economy whatsoever please? Unless you have an OLD domestic vehicle, you really can't. Sad to say but all American automotive companies are at least some what dependent on foreign soil. Whether it be parts or manufacturing.
There shouldn't be Domestic is better than Import... There should just be a mutual respect for all vehicles. If there was only one kind of vehicle out there, (i know it sometimes seems all you see is civics, or 240's, or whatever depending on where you live) but the roads would be boring, no one would have their own style. That's what it all comes down to. What the person that owns the car likes.

lol yepYou can't talk. You drive an automatic.
I love NLS...its just that I did it for about 6 months or so...and due to my car being so old, it cracked the transmission. When I would keep NLS, it would put so much shock on the transmission, that the 5th gear shaft that was locked in by a nut got loose, and the 5th gear itself kept getting pushed out of the tranny. Eventually it cracked and I had to re-do that nut and shaft and tig-weld the aluminum casing.
One thing I would tell anyone who hasn't tried it is to take your time, your aren't going to become awesome at it overnight. Also, if your car is as old as mine, I would think twice before I did it.
hmm
powershiftn may help reduce drag times but kill your clutch. unless you're a baller, getting a very good clutch will make you limitless in anything you do. but who says modifying cars is cheap?
power shifting wont even give you 1 extra mph
