1. Do you guys down shift and engine break when you see a red light or just coast in neutral?
2. How do you go about 'creeping' or 'crawling' through SLOW moving traffic?
any tips welcome!
also any cool stuff you learned about the car you can throw my way?  |
congrats! white is a great color on brz's.
1) if you're a 'veteran' stick driver i might trust myself to coast but if you're not an old timer with the stick i'd downshift all the way (or most of the way). reason being that if you're even in a panic situation where you have gone into neutral but *really* find yourself needing to get into gear and scoot out of a situation - human nature's panic mode might make it harder to find yourself back into a gear. personally, i downshift... but ymmv
2) first gear, feathering the clutch you can creep at about 3-4 mph. its not too bad - you'll get used to it.
