AnyonePower shift?

power shifting is shifting without letting off the gas pedal.

for some reason, lots of people think power shifting is shifting without using the clutch pedal at all. id LOVE to see the incar video of a drag racer trying that with a standard transmission.

For road course guys its something you save for that special moment. TT Record, first place Vs. the guy right next to you, etc. It will gain you some time but use sparingly.

eh its really not too extreme. people really blow it out of proportion. if i can do it several hundreds of times with over 600 flywheel hp with big sticky tires and an aggressive unforgiving clutch, surely most other setups can get away with it here and there

Admittedly, I did it on my way home tonight because some guy in a Mercedes 500 something decided to flex. It's mainly your guys' fault for talking about it earlier today.

Edit: If you have your sh1tty street tires on you can almost lose your rear going into 3rd.
