If you have an exhaust you do look like a total badass rev matching down gears to a stop though.  |
No reason at all... except, you know, for proper street driving technique.
I have to wonder how some of you are driving, when you speak of "drivetrain stress" or "wearing out the clutch"... by simply changing gears or engine braking. There's a world of difference between use and abuse; and with this car's power, so long as you're not riding your clutch or doing 5000 rpm drops at every stoplight, the damn thing will likely outlast most other parts on your vehicle... even if you <gasp> use it!
