Re: Shift points (cohocarl)
Trust me, it's killing me that I have no sound. I have about 1,000,000 videos I want to post, but no sound.

Re: Shift points (Mr Mojo)
First, I'd like to say this is a great video. Really shows something about the car that probably most of us don't do (full throttle shifting). Anyway, how come your rpm's climb so little when you depress the clutch? Looks like 300 rpm tops. I've only full throttle shifted a few times (and I threw the shift at 4,000) because I was wanted an rpm safety margin before redline. Anyway, it spooled up about 1,500 rpm before the clutch grabbed again and pulled it back down. I was afraid to throw it at 5,500 because I figured that would get me 7,000. Didn't want to find out how effective the rev limiter was! What you video shows me is that:
1. you shift damn quick!
2. or the rev limiter slowed the motor down.
3. or motor is just out of snap over 5,500 and couldn't climb any more.
4. the tach was "pinned" and the motor was spinning faster.
Also, do you make sure the clutch hits the floor or are you just slapping the shift when its halfway down?
And how many full throttle shifts can you throw (with the clutch!) before a syncro gives up the ghost in the ZF6. Hundreds?
Awsemore video!!!!!

Re: Shift points (Justin Scherer)
Justin, I never hit the rev limiter.
I powershift on every run(so far that's about 250)
I do shift very fast, maybe for my next shot, I'll aim the camera at the shifter(hopefully I'll get some sound going too).
I press the clutch all the way down.(maybe I'll try and shoot a video of my foot action also.
