Drive it easy until the motor warms up.
And of course, turn off the radio. Its drowning out the music :-)

"Match revs when you can" is for downshifting *NM* Bobtesa - Wednesday, 27 November, 2013, at 7:43:38 am |

Right, and under many street circumstances, neither does rev-matching when downshifting grant - Wednesday, 27 November, 2013, at 6:15:46 pm |

The thing is, to me half of the fun is the journey. Having to "work" a bit in these cars is part of the package. And the thing is, they reward you so much for it - great feedback, and sooooo smooth on those rare occasions when i get it all right.
Keep grinnin'

Meredith in Atlanta
Grant - I've been paying a lot of attention to this - thank you. It has helped a lot. I'm a hell of a lot better at shifting than I used to be, and I don't know why. Maybe it was your advice - but I get it. I never really used to downshift. If I was approaching a light, I would just approach and put it into neutral, but I'm finding that down shifting is a lot of fun. As for upshifting, I agree and totally go for smooth for the most part (unless I'm feeling crazy - then I just go for the sound).
What a fun week it has been!
if you generally keep it between 2000 and 3000 RPMs, then I have some advice for you... SMILIN - Friday, 29 November, 2013, at 9:48:29 pm |
