Easy way to sport shift!

So im just driving down and i mean to put my my left foot on the foot rest, well i do kinda. Half of my foot hit the rest and the other half hits the clutch. Then my rpm's drop to idle and i think hmmmm. i try it again and found that it was exacly the point of contact for the cluth. Now when i want to speed shift i know exactly what i need to do, hit the foot rest and clutch, i waste no time. This worked on my 2k2 civic ex, try it on your car see if it works!

I never push the clutch to the floor. I always push it in just past the engagement point. Have done that with all my cars and never had a problem.

I push the clutch until I hit the backstop. Speed-shifting in Atlanta. That's a laugh.

for AUTO go all u can go on letter D then ...you should be at about 100MPH...(RPMs should show at about 3K-3.4K) then, drop your shifter to D3 and you'll get a boost and hit like 118MPH ..or until u cut-off its real f_king cool try it...POWER.....POWER/////FASTER...FASTER
