* dump the clutch and spin through 1st, 2nd, and maybe 3rd * double clutch when down shifting ... Putting u @ the exact rev range when exiting a corner * lifting off the acccelerator and letting the flywheel do the work when slowing to a pace * no loss of power to wheels through the torque converter So a combination of all the above @ places like putty road makes the manuals more fun and outweights the pain suffered in peak hour traffic :)
