Well, I never pounded the clutch in the RSX like I mentioned above. And I don't plan on doing it in the Z. After just running up a lot of RPMs and trying to shift fast in the RSX, I began to understand it wasn't going to happen as fast as I wanted to. And, at that point, stomping and raising your foot back off the clutch as fast as possible is a total waste because the shift won't happen that quick in the first place.

I'll shoot for a controlled half-second shift once I'm through break-in.

Hmmm... break-in. 1200 miles minus the 320 I've put on it in two and a half weeks...I should be ready in about another month and a half... LOL
