Rolling around in neutral takes your nice light sports car and turns it into a big heavy soapbox racer.
Does that mean that say your coming to a stop at a red light or a stop sign your clutch pedal is pushed in and your going through the motions of downshifting? or are you just putting it into 2nd and then with your clutch in you stop then put it into neutral? Haha I know what you mean I just want to get a more clear understanding of what you do.
