Re:Who Speed Shifts?
how does it work?
You actually shift when you hit the red line? I'm confused,please explain. Do I keep my foot on the gas and then right before red light press in the clutch shift and release. Does this happen before or as the same time as you hit the redline?

Re:Who Speed Shifts?
the idea is a few 100 rpm before redline... you keep your foot on the gas.. pull the car out of gear. as soon as the shifter is in the "neutral position" you press the clutch and pull the car in the next gear at the same time....all that with your foot still on the gas... if you ask me.. its excess wear on the clutch and tranny.. for no reason....thts just me though
