[themadscientist]

I don't mind a little postwhoring as long as it's only a thread or two, it's all in good fun.

[n00b240]

Ok I dont think people address the last part of bejota's post...quickly everyone started the basic "street racer" flame

now the guy is a ****ing great driver i raced him again i noticed that the motor sometimes overreved, a friend that knew him was with me and he told me he shifted withought releasing the floored gas pedal ... is that convenient to do or should i keep shifting release the gas pedal

shifted without releasing the floored gas pedal??? WTF???? on a street car??? Is this even possible on a street car? I cant remember if its NASCAR or F1 that do this, there is a point where they can shift without releasing the gas pedal. now somebody flame the biatch for thinkin you can do that in a street car!!!

[nismofly]

F1 have more like the Ferrari style, where they dont use the clutch only the paddle shifters...the only thing the clutch is used for in F1 is to get the car from neutral into first and start moving, after that its all paddles

[Veriest1]

E46 BMW M3's had paddle shifters as an option. I don't know if I would like that personally but some do.

[j-z]

ive heard of people shifting with the gas on the floor in turbo applications to keep the turbo spooled during shifts. now, just because you have an electronic bov doesnt mean you actually have a turbo, so there is no reason to shift with the gas on the floor.

[PantherRacer]

wow, so you mean I can thro an electronic bov in any car and not have to shift @ full throttle? WOWOWOW lol

I need a friend like his man, if you can sit in the passenger seat and tell your driver how ur opponents shifting you're off da f***ing chains!

I routinely performed shotgun intelligence and left-hand smack talking. I can tell from the movement of the other guy's torso out of the corner of my eye that his clutch pedal is travelling up. My boy just stares straight ahead poised, when I say "NOW" he's dropping the hammer, he never got holeshot and neither have I. Unfortunately a wicked launch is quickly eroded when the other guy has twice the power.

So maybe that's why the windows sills on 350Zs are so high.

[jchilders04]

Come on guys be nice, i'm a street racer too...

oh wait, no i'm not, just wanted to bump=)

[koukiKA240]

I wonder if this guy is EVER going to post again...or kill himself. This cant be good for the self esteem.

I just felt like getting my 200th posthoray for me...~Sam

[nismofly]

haha ive been wondering that for a while, im going to have to say no on that one

final answer

[madbouncy]

Street Racer... races the street, how the hell do you loose against a non-moving object? I mean, poles I can understand, they jump out at you, but it's not like the street usually inclines enough for you not to make it over. Alright there are some hills cars can't make it over, but I won't count those.

Shifting with your pedal to the floor will give you a faster quarter mile time. However, I don't think the .01 second it'll gain will make a difference. Also, doing that keeps the load on the gears the entier time you're shifting, it's like holding onto a 50 pound weight, now hold onto that weight with only your finger tips. When you let off the gas it helps take the load off while the gears aren't fully engaged. If you're bad enough at shifting for this to give you a good jump in time, you're bad enough to make plenty of misshifts and you're going to blow your engine doing it this way.

[madbouncy]

Oh yeah, bump.

So does the Ferrari F360 Modena and Lamborghini Murcielagobut no cluch in either one.To get into neutral you just use both paddles.

I know, I drove both of them just last week

[Ubernoober]

Technically, they do have a clutch. It is just electrically activated, ergo, no pedal.

[dfw240_EE]

I think I read once that the Miata was supposed to get a paddle shift system as a very-high-priced option. Don't know if that ever came to light though.

So how did you like them? Do you think it would be something you would like to use on a daily basis or do you think they would be a hassle in a daily driver?

I think that rumor went around with the Mazdaspeed package before it was released. I'm fairly certain it was just a wet dream... then again the NCs might pop up with them next year. Who knows.

Ford did drop a 4.6 into one though.

They were in an old issue of Road and Track back around 2000. They had a convertable and a coupe version. Both had monstrous hood scoops for clearance.

WILL YOU CUT THIS CHILDISH **** PLEASE. STOP BUMPING THIS SIDE EFFECT OF A LOW CLASS KID. I'M JUST SICK OF SEEING THIS POST OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I COME TO NICO TO GET SOME USEFUL INFO AND BE HELPFUL AT THE SAME TIME. KEEP A LITTLE BIT OF PROFESSIONALISM HERE, WILL YA?

WHO IS THE MODERATOR HERE, DELETE THIS UNWANTED POST OR SIMPLY STICKY IT AND LOCK IT FOR NEWBIES TO SEE, BUT NO ONE CAN POST HERE.

[ILikeMy240sx]

someone needs to calm down...

If you dont like it dont read it. Pretend its not there. By posting, youve bumped it even more.

And have some sense of humor....

[bangstanger]

You mean this was bumped again? D*m*!

[nismofly]

whats funny is we starting talking about paddle shifters and the like, this threads going places!

[nismofly]

i would love a paddle shifting turbo miata, well have to see what comes of it
