Interior Videos of Fast M6 Shifiting I am a beginner and I know I am not fast at shifiting my M6, but it would be cool to see videos from the inside of your cars when you are rowing through the gears.
I have spent a lot of time searching and only found one that was kindda what I was looking for which was this one:
video
And this guy shifted insanely fast
I was wondering if anyone had any more videos of interior videos of a M6 car. I just want to compare and see what everyone else shifts like.
Thanks.

its not really that hard if you have decent hand-foot-eye cordination. The only thing is having the ***** to beat on you car that way, because if you miss a shift, then its...

Really the key is the right clutch and shifter combination that you feel the most comfortable with. I went from the stock Hurst to swapping in a Lou's short stick and it was way too stiff and notchy and actually slowed down my shifts. Make sure you get comfortable with what you have and your shifting patterns and you will have it down in no time.

I currently have the stock hurst with a UMI short stick and I think it feels kind of notchy and stiff as well (I am not sure though being I havent driven any other M6) What did you end up going with for your current setup?

I didn't get the chance to switch over since a deer caused a quick death to my car but i know my buddy's Pro 5.0 felt pretty good and my next car is going to have a Ripper shifter in it. I'd see if there is anyone you know that has each i'd go and see how they feel along with knowing what clutches they have.

If my clutch could take a power shift I would. Used to do it all the time when it was stock, now the clutch slips on a power shift. It feels great with the Pro 5.0 and a short stick. I had my uncle make me one to my needs. It is 6.5" and pitched to me 10*. Feels just right. I may cut it shorter. The **** can make a difference too. If it is too big or too small it can slip. I have a Z28 with a Trans Am leather ****. I love my set-up. The Leather Z **** was too big.
Damnitt! My work laptop doesn't let me view ****!

That craig driving one looks like it could be the same guy as the video that I posted, they both have the White Ball on the shifter, the steering wheel cocked a little to the left the whole time, and the same looking aftermarket deck if you look closely. I noticed the cars kindda sounded the same, so I watched both vids side by side and came to that conclusion. That guy is a real good shifter IMO.
I went out today just to do a few 0-80 runs on road and my shifts are no where near that fast. I also am not powershifting either, I dont feel like wrecking something, I just do the normal speed shifting. So if anyone has videos of someone who speed shifts to see a comparison on speeds doing it that way would be cool too.

Forgive me Im a dumb autou guy. What exactly is powershifting? And what can you screw up if you miss a shift? I know you can smoke the clutch if you dont have a good one but what else?
