Its when you floor the car and not let off the gas the whole run. This combined with barely pushing the clutch down and raping the gears= Good times!!

So wait just a second here. You 6MT guys pontificate about sports cars being defined by having a clutch and then in order to compete with faster cars, you look for ways to get around having to actually use the clutch?

And then you rag on "clumsy" torque converters, eh?

Auto will win every time. But, there is a reason that my girlfriend drives one.

I used to do it without the modual and I always felt dirty after (like when you sleep with a trashy broad that kind of feeling) Then I got a flat shift modual that cuts the fuel for a few milliseconds it was very smooth. Now my VI-PEC standalone has one built in I catch alot of guys while they are shifting

not automatic fast but its fast.

Timing was on and the clutch was used, it just looked off to you because you cant do it that fast

I think the Vi-PEC has the ability to run flat shift, but that doesn't meanthe trans will handle it (as Alberto demonstrated). Also, I was told by the Blouch guys that the anti-lag is also very bad and will eventually destroy turbos, so it looks like that is out as well.

Gonna be nice guys. Looks like I'll miss this again for the second year straight.

Interestingly enough, I may be up at Fontana this weekend as I'll be passing through. I'll give you a popo report.

A special thanks the the THP officer who recently chased a wreckless driver who it turned out had a revoked license for DUI. He was escorted to jail in cuffs.

It will be interesting to see what happens......
