    back in the days when syncros wern't mainstream. With crashboxes like in the original Rover Mini, people would shift without pressing the clutch. Now you can do this even today if you know your car very well.

    I thought that was relevant.

    I've got the video and timeslip to prove it.


    I'd rather this forum not know the real times my car has put down. Soon as I am finished with the new set up I will post the old times when I have some new times to compare them too.

    wait, you hide your times so you can "race cars you know you can beat"?

    The only thing you should be getting out of it is why you got pulled as bad as you did by a stock GTO with intake and exhaust with your Offroad X pipe, intake and exhaust Cobra.

    That offroad X pipe gave you about 10-15 rwhp over that 404 you dynoed before...

    you are so full of shiit its not even funny.

    if your car is here:

    ----------------THACKER

    and my car is here:

    -------DieselNuts

    And you get the jump and I spin through ALL of 1st gear, naturally you are gonna pull a good lead on me.

    You are not a man of your word. You are 2 faced and a liar. Everyone knows that here and even though you did beat me, at least I am still respected and liked by people on this forum and in real life. The complete opposite can be said for you.

    Don't yall find it ironic that this guy KNOWS, as shown by his constant quoting of mods and RWHP numbers , what everybody supposedly has? Why do you think that is? Gee, I wonder.

    Like I said before, he has a cheater car that he sand bags with that he only uses to pick races only HE can win under HIS terms, HIS rules, HIS time. Funny how that works.

    Noticed that when I challenged him to bring it to the track so we can all see first hand how much a "driver" he really is......he backpedalled faster than a husband who gets caught by his wife with his pecker in the secretary's glory hole.

    I didn't back pedal at all? I told Willum14b I'd love to race him at the track in another thread but he back pedaled and said he "only raced for 10k"


    You are obsessed dude.

    I'm not obsessed at all. I was the one that told you to bring it to the track on the 23rd and you started with all your excuses which you've yet to reply to. Remember....."....just WHO preps the public street YOU like to race on?..." That's exactly what I asked when you used the excuse that Commerce wasn't "prepped" right. Remember that? I do. That's the backpedalling I was talking about. YOU are more than willing to take it to the street where there are no lights, no slips, plenty of room for excuses, and damn sure no "prepping", yet you won't race at the track.

    I also told you that since YOU were claiming to be the "fastest stock" GTO to come on out and PROVE IT. YOU won't. So that means you're claiming something only YOU think you've proven to some ghosts down at Silver Dollar. Ironically enough, someone else came in and posted the actual list of people WHO DO have slips to back their claims up and YOUR name was no where on it. Why is that?

    It's funny that you pound on your chest about your racing prowess and how "fast" your car is, yet you only back it up when YOU think you know exactly what that other person has. Just like I said, you only race races that YOU think YOU can win. That's a rosy world you live in....that is until you man up and race where there is no chance for excuses, i.e. the track.

    How much more clear than that can I be?

    no tach? Power shifting is no lift or virtually no lift off the throttle, just enough to keep the rpm's from skyrocketing to redline as the gears are changed. Switching the gears will bring the rpm's down some but the closer the gear ratios are to each other the less the rpm's will drop.

    The key is to modulate the throttle just enough to allow extra rpm's during the shift so when the next gear is engaged you'll be back to the exact same RPM.

    try that with something that actually makes power. If you are at your shift point and hit the clutch with the throttle @ 100% You are gonna hit the rev limiter with the quickness...if its equiped w/one.

Do you consider that close-minded? Same thing applies to the heel-toe. Everyone has heard of "heel-toe downshifting", but I never heard of "heal-toe accelerating" untill this thread.

    so wait... since i'm following this thread with a grain of salt and don't feel like re reading the whole thread...

    why would you heel toe to accelerate? where does that even make sense?!? you're going to put on the brakes while trying to go faster? seems like a fail to me

    danny: yeah but in brake boosting you AREN'T in the midst of racing... you're "preparing" for your race... unless you magically brake boost in the middle of racing and STILL win

    I'll stick to a nice smooth quick shift over Banging("Power Shift") anyday I went through 4 clutches in my taco when I had it, from "power shifting".. quick shift = still on same clutch for 4 years in civic and I don't know how long it was in before I bought it...

    <back on topic>
    i believe the heel-toe other than downshifting argument was about heel-toeing it on a steep incline so that when you stage the clutch you're not rolling too far back without reving at the clutch too hard.
    oh, and the newer drive-by-wire cars, NLS is almost needed for any quick shifting. with my experience, the dbw cars seem to loose more rpm's in a shift because of the data transfer lag. toyotas are very bad about this (x-runner)
