These guys are right. I double clutch out of super old-school habit and I used to swear that a throttle blip did nothing until I tried it on this car. Damned if a good solid rev way above the target speed didn't do the trick. Then, if timed to help the syncro clutch do its job, instead of replacing it altogether in a double clutch, it actually does work.


I still double clutch because, well, I'm my dad's son.
