I'll rev match on downshifts but I'm not going to double clutch. I feel like it would slow down my gear changes.
Btw... who downshifts in a drag race? You are doing it wrong, ViN Diesel!!

Tractor trailer gearboxes don't even have syncros. My father and grandfather went into trucking together and while test driving my old ranger they double clutched out of habit.

It's probably best you didn't push it while you're still new to manual shifting. Once you get used to letting it rev you'll find an ideal range for accelerating. Enjoy your car, Jarviz.
