@MuruganNarayanan 3 жыл бұрын

@@devanarayanan1243 You don't HAVE to. It's called power shifting, you won't lose speed slightly and may feel a jolt when doing so. But it's not recommended as it can increase the wear on your transmission. Best practice is to take your foot off the gas when shifting.

This so helped me. A Toyota Yaris pulled up to my Outback at a red light. He looked over, gave me the nod and smile and I knew. He was giving it some gas and the earth started shaking. His dual exhaust was nuts. I put it into M mode and knew it was on. Just the feeling of those little pieces of protruding plastic from the sides of the steering wheel inspired confidence. I launched into 1, 2, 3, 4 as fast as the car would allow. I rolled a Yaris. I am now super confident that I await a Prius at the next stoplight. I'm ready for you now!

Try downshifting in drive mode. most paddles will throw you down a gear for passing acceleration necessity. 5. Maintain your car for best performance.

in manual cars, if you dont upshift, youll blow your pistons out of your hood. but id say for first gear your mph should be 10-15, maybe 20, and then 2nd gear should be around 25-35, 3rd should be around 40-60, and so on
