This may seem like a retarded question, i posted on reddit (to my own humiliation) and man i got trolled lol.

-Young with his first ever bought car, 2015 brz and its beautiful
-No, i will not autox or track any time soon
im simply asking how do i properly shift gears when driving rough when i get to that stage of confidence in my life??
ive driven automatic cars all my life, and hardly ever aggressively(work van, pickup truck and a kia optima HYBRID lol) cant really drive fast in those !

My concerns are, how should i shift, what is a good way to ease into driving quicker? i know getting in the car with other driver is always an excellent idea but for practice? is it plausible to go to a autox, suck ass and just get pointers or is that uncommon and ill get scoffed at :P

when ive tried the few times to aggressively shift at high rpms, i always feel the car lurch forward as if i got slammed. and each time i panic, stop what im doing, and just drive carefully again ....

am i suppopsed to let go of the clutch very quickly but not throw it?? have i watched too many fast and furious movies?

thanks to anyone who can answer this noob who would love to get into the racing scene a bit more later on down the years!
