and never take your foot out of the gas while shifting, keep it to the floor and don't miss the shift!

Yeah, while we are on the the topic, in tFatF when Dom tells Brian that he's
"granny shifting"
"not double clutching"
What does this mean? is granny shifting, normal shifting (as apposed to power shifting)
And what is double clutching?

double clutching is pushing the clutch in to pull it outta gear letting the clutch out and then back in and out for the next gear.
