Shifting Sequence

On one thread there was a shifting sequence for track, shift to 1, 6 5, 4, 3, 2

I forgot which thread it was.

I tried it and got very sad results( No accelertation) probably because, if you shift to 6 its slow and progressive speed will be compensated by the down shifts giving you more speed as you progress.

Maybe everybody knows this, but I tried a 1 shift 9000 RPM to 3rd shift then to 5 shift. It gave me a pleasant feel for acceleration.

But's not like a rocket, all smooth accerleration which I love.


Damn, I love this car (^^)

Um, proper track shifting is 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 if necessary. If you're shifting into 6th you're doing it wrong.

You obviously don't know the secret JDM track shift sequence for maximum power:




Also, OP, reason it didn't work is because you did 1, 6 5, 4, 3, 2 instead of 1, 6 5, 3, 4, 2.

I figured the ridiculous laughing would give it away that I knew it was a joke.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then 6 is all you need to know for the fastest accelertion.

In the real world of saving gas and not going too much over the speed limit you can skip gears... But 1 to 6 is like "Why?"

He likes to watch the car struggle to keep driving, that's why.

Real pros can start off the line at 6th gear without stalling or over revving.

B, A, Select, Start is only if you have a passenger with you. If you're driving alone, it's just B,A, Start
