Exactly. That was my original point to Ty, and shifting without a clutch on the street isn't at all useful either.

As far as driving styles go, I'll bet there are many that work well. I learned from the guys at Spring Mountain, and we get pulled aside if we drove "GT race" style. They are relentless about smooth upshifts and downshifts, and engine braking isn't taught at all.

Anyway, the best part of all of this is time spent on the track.
