Im def. an amateur at this so i was wondering what is the best way to shift between gears. Do you let off the gas or not between shifts?. lata

I would...anything else just burns up the clutch..


I find launching the car in an XI tends to relate to broken parts faster than an I model would. I just prefer doing stupid speed down the CIP and catching air in certain places (did it twice, I dont think I will be doing it ever again lol)
