If you drive your car on the street normally don't bother but this is the streetrace section of the forums. to me nothing feels better than slamming the gears as fast as i can. when someone outdrives you in the same car in a straight line and you call them a great driver, you might as well call them a good powershifter. you can't go quite as fast if you don't do it. besides the launch which just takes practice, leave your foot on the "go" pedal!
