my tips...im not gonna be mean like everyone else by saying search but, launch the tC at arouns 2.2-2.5k rpms, and dump the clutch if u wanna, itll chirp a lot with wheelhop but its fine....also dont pay attention to redlining much, just learn which gear redlines at what mph etc and then pay attention to the MPH of each gear for exp (1st gear=30mph, 2nd gear=52mph, 3rd gear=80mph etc...)use your speedometer instead of rpm gauge to race the tC...and also if you really wanna win a race, POWERSHIFT...if that all fails and youre doing all i teach you right, your car is just plain slower then the other

power shift = kill your clutch and tranny. Buy a short shifter, it will be cheaper than replacing your clutch after a month of "power shifting." (im exadurating but still)

I know powershifting is bad for your clutch/tranny...I was just saying its a lot faster and if you really wanted to win a race youd powershift...I also think a STS would help but you act as if it helps as much as powershifting...Short throw shifter wont help as much anyways without clutch etc...I think if you can shift fast with a stock shifter you wont need the STS, besides about powershifting being better then the STS its because when you shift gears your revvs dont drop and you stay in power range....I know powershifting helps because my cousin ran his Celica 2000 gt w/intake,axleback and stripped rear at the track when powershifting and n ot powershifting...My cousin ran consistent times of 16.0-16.1 w/o powershifting and when he did powershift he ran 15.7....1st run w/o powershifting=16.1, 2nd run= same, 3rd run =16.0............4th run while powershifting=15.8, 5th run 15.7 and last run =15.7 also.....runs 1-3 no powershift, runs 4-6=powershifting...

Weak, just practice shifting faster. your revs dont drop THAT fast, think of the possibilities of powershifting + a STS ?

Bro I know powershifting kills your car man and thats why I only do it when necessary (like if Im racing a teg type-R etc.)...lolz STS and powershifting would be really nice also...hrmmm think of those 2 and also a stage 2 clutch lolz...
