Default Who Speed Shifts?

I'm talking not letting your foot off the gas, shifting 2 or 300 RPM before the redline and barely missing the rev limiter when you're blasting through gears. I was just wondering if anyone else enjoyed this as much as I do. Not only is it fun and sound cool but my car feels and is so much faster as compared to normal shifting. Does everbody do this, if it can make my DX gears feel fast I can only imagine what it does for other cars.

My old DX tranny wouldn't let me shift without letting off the gas. I would just bounce off the limiter while yanking on the shifter to try to get it into gear. It probably wasn't too good on anything.
