RE: Powershifting
I have done this a few times @ WOT.....not the best feeling in the world...bounced it off the rev limiter more than I completed it successfully.....not worth it IMO unless you are racing for some big $$$ and have to win, your cars drivetrain in also on the line here!

I drove big trucks for 20 years.
Double clutching involves:
a: pushing in the clutch pedal while moving the gear lever into neutral.
b: pushing in the clutch again and moving the gear lever into the next gear.
Why do truckers double clutch? Because big trucks have no snynchros.
Meantime - your competitor is long gone!

RE: Powershifting
I think it feels awesome and I can feel a big difference at WOT between granny shifting and powershifting. Agreed, nothing to do on a daily baisis, but at the track with the knowledge your driveline could go if you miss a gear...eh, it's fun.
