Rofl, reminds me of the time I was in my friends RX-8 with him (down time for the turbo install) and this guy in an Acura does the same sort of nonsense, and my friend likes to have fun with his adorable Wankel, so they both go and get no more than 60' after the stop light then I hear this awful grinding noise only to look back and see pieces of the acuras underside falling out as he pulls over and gets out. I think he tried to shift without using the clutch or something, I don't know.
He probably thought he could powershift his way to victory. lol not sure that I would ever try to do that with my car.

Oh, my bad. I don't really know what I'm talking about. Though i have heard that at the right RPM's you can shift without using the clutch.
You just gotta be fast enough And im sure it isnt good for your car? I have done it but it was from first to second and i never did it again, them little 90 year nissans and hondas can buck like a mule!

You can shift w/out the clutch by matching rpms, but it's not near as fast as a normal shift, let alone powershifting. And if you screw it up, you can hurt your tranny or over rev the engine!

Ha ever seen a Yukon break its drive shaft at the yoke trying to pass someone? I have, me and my dad were going to the shooting range in his truck on a sunday(as usual) already 10mph above the speed limit this guy decides to pass. He switches over into the opposite lane THEN floors it, in a hail of sparks and cuss words this guy rolls into the grass in the opposite lane. Knowing the road was rarely traveled we stopped to help this guy, I told him he'd need a new yoke and possibly a drive shaft, he looked at me like I was stupid, with all that money his parents are paying for him to be in college youd think they wouldve taught him some manners.
Anywho the story gets turned around so it was OUR fault, at that point we got back in the truck and left him. Dont you love what our countries becoming. Apparently Chevy the American icon cant make dependable trucks and our people cant man up and admit theyre wrong. Not to mention we know NOTHING of cars other than theyre made in either Mexico or Japan.
