I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on this...I'm too afraid to try it. Anyway, my brother once told me that I shift too early, and that I should wait until my motor winds up really high, then shift. Okay, so I started doing this, and I'm much better now, and I think that trick really does work. I have a straight six, and when I first started driving I could hardly beat a metro at a green light take-off. I can actually harness my car's power a little better now (take on say...taurus wagon at green light). However, and this is really my question here, he also said that there is a point at which you can shift your car without actually putting in your clutch, that there is like a very small window of opportunity where you could just pop it into the next gear. He said he had a friend in college who drove a jeep, and he did it all the time. Can anyone actually do this? Just wondering.[addsig]
