Wow! If a car really did only drop 200 rpms after shift you would be doin some hella shiftin. You'd hit 5th before the 60 ft mark! lol

yeah I see that. I guess it depends how good you are at shifting. I never go above 5200 myself but thats my band but after shift I'm still at 5000

there are a few in car shots and you can see rpm dop. granted they were not shifting as fast as guy in vid but they are only dropping 400-500 rpm's. I would love to put up a vid but 1) no camcorder and 2) my tranny blew the f*ck up racing my brother's srt-4, shift forks broke and fell into gears, most hanis. but thats the price we pay to play 
. and I shift st 5200-5400 rpm's not 5k peakis at 5500. so do you think that guy had a 28 speed tranny?? ooh no must have been a 46 speed hey hoss.

if I drive "normal" they last for years but when I start power shifting they don't last long. think it's true with any trans. any more retarded comments hoss? ya know this is why oxford left right too many kids that haven't done things for themselves telling others oohh that cant be done. well let me tell ya if you practice you can do it also.
