Very Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Double Clutching portion was great. ALthough I don't understand why he rotated his foot counter clockwise and hit the brake with toe and gas with heel. I always that it felt more comfortable doing it the other way around but again i haven't done much double clutching so wtf do i know?

Any of the expert manual drivers care to comment??



They should make the 6 Speed commercial like that. Engine Reving with the heart beating and then just stop and have complete silence. Then have the heart start beating again and REALLLLLY fast when the car is shown driving around. At the end you could have a caption say, "It makes our hearts race too!"

he was heel toe shifting, you hold down the brake and tap the gas, so you can down shift while braking.

Yup, that's actually the technical way of to heel/to. Which is why pedals are made with a small brake and a long gas. Helps to keep the shifts smooth so you don't throw weight and lose your line.

Double clutch is for old sychro-less cars. No one does that anymore. (gear, clutch in, neutral, clutch out, rev, clutch in, next gear, clutch out).

I understand what it is and why it's done. However i feel it's more comfortable to rotate the foot out and double clutch.

for the few times that i have heel toe shifted, i felt it was better to put my toes on the brake, it gave me more control of the brake pressure.

It makes me want to go out and buy an NSX, but I want an R. Does anyone else notice that the NSX-R looks like a 4x4 compared to that GT car?
