Judge his shifting abilities This is a little vid of my younger brother's LT\Lid\shifter LS1. He is only 18 and has only been driving 6 speed for two months. Tell me how his shifting is.

Well it's rare to see a 16-18 year old driving these cars, and for good reason.

Pretty good.
I thought it sounded like his shifts slowed down the faster he went probably due to a little hesitation from lack of confidence in hitting the gear as he had to reach further away from his body.

18 doesn't deserve special treatment. I was shifting like that at 18 as well, and people did find it amazing....outside of my family that is. We're expected to know how to drive....nice shifting, and nice car man!
