*sigh*

The fast and furious series has gotten everyone saying "double clutch" this and that and they don't have a damn clue what that even means. I guess it's a peeve of mine to see the term used as relates to anything but large trucks or blown synchro's or race vehicles or something.

i just made the comment jokingly :icon17:

but yet, so many to not :shakes head:

Or if you're trying not to abuse your synchro's on a downshift. If you skip shift on an AP1 s2000, it's smarter to make sure everything is spinning the same speed before you go into gear. The 2nd and 3rd gear synchros go out with 20-30k miles of failing to rev match while skip shifting.


A lot of people overuse it, but it's actually a pretty common/useful thing to do.

I understand in that case, yes, but I am referring to the over-use of the term, not the actual intelligent use of the practice like you are talking about.

I raced a GTI tonight in 5th gear from 30mph and he walked me, he probably had a chip.

Just saying though, that if you're at 70mph, going into 3rd, you'd probably want to double clutch, so not necessarily a bad use. That's all.:tiphat:
