Having a 12 second car makes me have an appreciation and a great deal of respect for the skill involved in launching, banging gears and keeping that thing in one piece down the track.
Obviously, you have no respect for the skill it takes to powershift like that because the tach on your car moves so slowly that you could watch paint dry before shifting into second, read a book between the shift to third and then do your taxes before shifting into fourth. Big deal you have ridden motorcross bikes - what do those things top out at... 80 mph? .. I have had a ZX-6r and gsxr-750 and I still am amazed at those shifts. Its completely different.

road bike riding is nothing on what motor crossing is.if u have road them u would know that. why is it called powershifting ,due to them changing gear at the right time?????never heard this before. EDIT.85mph maybe more on ruff mud and jumping at 50mph.hmm u have no idea.stick to driving in a straight line. |

Powershifting means the gas pedal never leaves the floor throughout the entire quarter mile. You miss a shift while on the spray and you will probably toast a motor.
I dont know what you have driven, but I know you dont know much about fast cars as evidenced by what you say. This is a prime example. If you cant respect the skill involved in piloting a 9 second car, I have serious doubts about whether you have ever driven a 600 hp car in a setting other than in a parking lot. Every internet racer like you thinks its just a matter of stepping on the gas and instant 9 second timeslips. Stick to driving in a straight line? Every bike and car I have owned gets roadraced... Dirt is for potatoes, asphalt is for racing. Quote:

My main point again, since you like dancing around things, is that shifting like that ISNT easy. If it were, we'd all be john force. There is a reason why some guys run 14's in LS1's while others can get high 12's. This is part of it.
But you wouldnt know anything about that. There arent any tracks in the US? Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, VIR, Road america, Indy, Las Vegas speedway etc dont count? We have no twisties? Son, the US is home to the stretch of the road with the most corners anywhere in the world for a given distance. Look up "Deals Gap". 318 corners in 11 miles. Again, you are posting shit you know nothing about. Quote:
