The glass windows have a fair amount of weight to them. Would it be beneficial to have them down, so that the weight sits lower on the car, or would loss of aerodynamics come in to play. Just something to think about. I was thinking about this the other day. The glass windows have a fair amount of weight to them.

I need some advice. Here is my dilema.... While I'm accelerating and shift from like 1st to 2nd, obviously the RPM's are lower in 2nd then they would be in first. Well the problem is that I'm not sure if I am supposed to let the RPMs fall a bit before releasing the clutch in the next gear, or let it go right away and have the car buck around for a second. I know that alot of you are going to laugh at this stupidity, but it really stumps me. I know for normal driving purposes I can let the RPMs fall whenever I change gears for a seamless transition. But when I am trying to go from 0 to whatever as fast as I can, it seems stupid to let off the accelerator for the amount of time to wait for the RPMs to fall. But it also sucks when Im going from 2nd to 3rd and im shifting quick and the car is buckin around like no other. Sorry if this is confusing but its hard to explain. If anyone can decipher this nonsense and help me out it would be greatly appreciated {thumbup} ]]> Driving Techniques H8ted1488 http://forums.evolutionm.net/driving-techniques/456361-epic-noob-shifting-question.html
