And your shifter needs to be adjusted correctly. I've driven some where the adjustment is not conducive to fast shifting.
I've always thought it's interesting how he kind of "pre-shifts" it a few times before the actual shifts. Its like his hand is just itching to bang that gear.
I jammed my pinky on my console once pretending to powershift my old Turbo T-Type I used to have, that actually hurt.
My cousin started his 67 Camaro to warm it up once before he left a family get together a while back, I'll never forget this. Of course my father jumped in it a few moments later and drove out on the road, effortlessly pegged the throttle and dumped the clutch and left a patch through 1st and 2nd gear, it was like old times for him. My cousin looked at us and voiced his worry about his "brand new clutch", he was only 16 at the time. My other cousin and I looked at each other with smirks on our faces and both said, "don't worry, he didn't slip the clutch!" as we laughed pretty hard. Then he looks at us and says, how did he do that? I can't get it to leave marks that good! His own father would show him soon, he was smiling watching the whole thing go down, and was probably the one who put the clutch in, he's the same Uncle that had the Lenco Camaro when I was little, he just would of been too little to remember.
