p.s. If you wonder why a short blip of the throttle wont raise the revs much, next time your sitting in your car parked and in neutral, smash the gas pedal to the floor really quickly and let go and do this as fast as you can....the revs will barely get up there!

I tired this out, you're right! i am beginning to think its due to the eletronic control (DBW?) its like lagging or something. kinda like playing a video game that doesn't listen to you lol.

this kinda pisses me off cause then its gonna be a ***** to hold the gas a little longer for the heel toe. i am not too good at it and i move the brake when i do it if i dun get it right. so you get all this jerk from bad clutch release and the brakes lol i need a sticker that says newb in training LOL
