Default Random thought...

Wsup fellas..

I might be new to switching gears off a 6 spd so maybe this may be a newb thing. But, wanna see how other ppl feel..

When I wear regular shoes, I can't really feel how much i'm pressing down on the accelerator and the clutch compared to when i'm wearing chucks!!

You can feel the sensitive accelerator as you're pushing it down so not much clunking while switching gears.. ESP from 1st to 2nd..
**yes, i'm not used to the car yet... so sad

CHUCKS FTW!!!

another thought...
At what rpms do you guys shift?
from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd???
a: during normal traffic
b: when racing



Also, what's our ideal rpm to be switching when racing?
I heard that at a certain point, you pass your "powerband" so all you're doing is just revving the engine.. This guy bsing me? Or is there some truth to what he's saying???
Whenever I see youtube clips of people boning out, they always push it pass the redline..
