[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10329137, member: 11681"] IMHO this all a big waste of time. I just pick the correct gear for what ever I'm going to be doing next, IE: corner exit, driveway.. what ever, and I let the clutch out smoothly. I don't need to rev match, and I don't understand why a lot of people bother with this. I don't even do this on track. I stick it the gear I want and GO! 25K and still on the original clutch and syncros. If I was driving a 70 BOSS 302 with a top loader or Jerico crash box, then I would worry about it and alter my methods. If this is so you can use the down shift for engine braking... don't bother, it does practicably nothing, use the brakes. The combination of heavy car, tiny low compression engine, and halfway decent aero means these cars don't slow much till you use the brakes. [/QUOTE]
