when you downshift, i hear no throttle blip. no blips at 0:18, 0:41, 1:08, i heard a slight blip at 1:23, hit the center line at 2:20, no blip at 2:53, 3:33, 3:54... it's unfortunate that your reading comprehension skills seem to be worse off than your driving skills.

The fact that you didn't hear it means nothing. The fact that the car does not react [gets upset] to the shift does..... I have syncros fool....

you have no idea how i drive. good job making assumptions though!!!

When you talk like a fool assumptions are all I have to go by..

what was "beside the point" was the distance of the section in the video. maybe what you don't understand is that i have driven that canyon nearly 100 times, in both directions, and my point was that i didn't think that section was 12 miles. if you have evidence to the contrary, i'll happily retract my statement.


Go to Google maps and mark it out, I've got a GPS in car that tells me so along with my odometer.....and I have no reason to bullshit anyone ..

i know what it is and how to do it properly while threshold braking, but thanks for trying. my MR2 doesn't have ABS, so i actually had to learn to prevent lockup myself.

That's great but what's that have to do with the discusion since my ABS was never engaged while braking...

you stated before that you had "the correct gears for the corners." that's fine, but explain how having the proper gears for the corners precludes you from needing to execute a proper heel-toe downshift coming up to the corner.

Again you don't know what you're talkin about....I do have a sycro gearbox you know...and one more time the rear tires never chirp on a downshift so you have no idea what the hell you're talkin about....turn up the volume..

you have no idea what i know, how smart i am, or anything about me. you're the one who joined this forum exclusively to come on here and call me names. that makes you an awesome human being.


Again you assume too much your lack of driving knowalge leads me to believe that you indeed are an idiot.....You are not the reason I joined this forum but it's a good thing I did so that guys will open their eyes and not believe all the crap they are feed by guys that don't have a freakin clue as to what they are talkin about......

if all it takes to have this AWESOME driving skill is the ability to keep the car between lines painted on the road, i'm surrounded by all of the world's most amazing drivers constantly when out on the road. oh, you didn't run into anything either? good job!!!

Now this is the one and only time you've said something correct.....

Stay in school....
