something you dont need to worry about... its a fast and furious term tossed out there to make vid diesel look like he knew wtf he was talking about...

the only vehicles that still need to be double clutched these days.. are big rigs

(all it is... is when you press the clutch pedal, release the car from gear, release the pedal, then press it again and put the car back into gear...) kinda gay

Hmm.. from what I heard, double clutching is just simply hitting the clutch twice to raise the rpm's during a take off..

Launch.. spin, let off clutch, slam back on... hook.

Works for me, maybe it's not double clutching but get's me ahead of every other car I race

Why would you double clutch 2nd and 3rd? that's just slowing you down.

thats new to me... i just launch the car at 2500, and feather the clutch, keep it right on the brink of spinning, and just ride that fine line... it takes practice... but is how i no how to launch... what ur sayin is new to me, sounds like it would take a lil time...and ever other car u race prob doesnt have the torque u have... race a "real" car, that might not work out.

because my syncros are shot.. it wont go in unless the rpms are matched... this is why im getting a new trans(dont have the time to rebuild mine), and also why i dont race it at all right now

So are you a real car? You want to "race" ?
