I think I already have that stuff, the problem is mostly habit of
years of slow shifting...)
I had a couple of 1-2 shifts that were 1.3 s of 0 G, and one with 0.9. And the
faster one was without crunch, so I know there's 0.4 there alone, if I can do
it just that much faster. The 911 does compensate the slow shift with good
accel
when the clutch is not in :)
