My question is that it's possible to have the engine rpm drop faster via clutch engagement => quicker shift. Is this bad for the engine, or just wears the clutch?
I did not modify the clutch or shifter assembly in my BRZ and I had no problems shifting quickly/rowing through gears at the track. Ran close to 30 events in 3 years with the car... so based on what you wrote, I suggest you think of ways of modifying your shifting habits.
