maybe the kid's just scared of reving the engine.  especially when the kid says his 1-2 shift is rough, he lacks MT driving experience. we're not shy to hit the rev limiter from time to time. hell, i hit the rev limiter often in my dd.  |
Definitely... it's like 'oh it's a rough tranny/clutch' WELL I said the exact same thing the first 2 weeks. Drove it a lot and then it was like..
yea... the clutch... right... (really it was my lack of skills) Same with the engine being rough... really? Just because there aren't a crap ton of dampers / noise reduction (queue the weight) insulating, fun sucking, boringness... yea. Okay sure comared to my Dad's 2014 is350 it's night and day (cant' even feel the idle!) Or as you said scared to accelerate lineraly and pushes/pulls back too many times causing a jerky ride? Heck I do it to make sure my GF isn't asleep!
Seems like people overrate their driving ability and after learning to drive manual I have a great respect for manual drivers. Anyone can drive a straight line, now do those same speeds around a corner with tending to correct gears and VSC off. Then you're really showing your skills.
LOL I try not to rev past 6 too often but once in a spirited moment I do. I tend to rev hard in first (5-5.5ish) and then start shifting until I hit my cruising gear... or depending on my mood sit in first or second because I'm being obnoxious.
