Powershifting should be used at the track but can be used on the street. You have more of a risk of missing a shift and blowing a gear when powershifting.
Shifting without the clutch is nothing more then letting off the gas and putting pressure on the gear to let it fall in. It is called Rev-matching. When the engine RPM and trans RPM are the same then the syncro and gear will automatically line up, hence letting the gear engage without disengaging the clutch. I use it when I'm lazy or when I'm bored and not use the clutch so my passenger can see. It is definately not for race use since you have to wait a second while letting off.
Remember to always make sure you hit that gear!

Thanks!
(this is actually interesting to me)

Real, true racing sequential transmissions should be shifted without a clutch (again after clutching into 1st). But again the noise is unbearable, and the cost is waaay more than an f body when it was new!!

I have to have a 13 second car.
Quite frankly, if you blow a gear or miss a gear while powershifting then you should probably never drive a stick. Well, that was a bit extreme. If you are going to powershift, practice shifting very quickly in a safer enviroment. I hear people have a hard time with third gear. If you practice it and still want to do it, then do it. When I powershift at the track I just spin. So I granny shift and baby it off the line..
Because not being able to powershift at the track has NOTHING to do with my stock 10 bolt and shitty street tires.

You need bring it up to 6000 while on the highway, pop it into reverse, go into a 180 spin and flip off the car in front of you

Shifting without the clutch is slam boxing. I did it in my Saturn all the time. It worked great. The synchros were pretty free or something. I would never do it in my car. I know how but will not.
It is in Unit's nature as a mod to be sarcastic and rib people for stupid coments and wrong info. I don't blame him. I did not like it at first but after being on here a while I saw why. Too much ignorance on this site and the egos to go along with it. You loose patience after a while for that junk. Now I have great respect for the mods here and have gained much knowledge to pass on to others.
