I will be keeping it also, but I simple drove it normal without raping it all the time. I just didnt bother with the whole 4k or less, speed up, speed down gear up, gear down, left, left, right, right... kinda thing.

Ok not that bad, but how some people describe to do it sounds like landing a plane in topgun.
