thats what you call powershifting. people do this is shave a 10th or so off theit ETs, but its REALLY bad for toyr transmission (especially the synchros). Unless you like remeshing your tranny, Id suggest you just practice shifting real fast without staying on the power between shifts.

fast shifting is a racing technique and skill.......... normal use of it
will damage ur tranny and gears...... over time ur gears will not catch so
easily..........

Powershifting is also the same........... but worst on tranny and clutch and gears.
BUT SOUNDS GREAT WHEN U REDLINE HAHAHHAHAH

sike nah
