Default Re: Powershifting 101

OK guys, I'm going to be honest here. I consider myself pretty proficient with a four speed shifter, but I've never power shifted or actually kept the accelerator all the way to the floor, depressed the clutch, and hit the next gear without lifting the accelerator. I know I'm not doing it any time soon on my big block Corvette, either. I may try this if I borrow one of Paul D's cars, (like the L88 or Hemi) but no way would I really trust myself to get it right at the expense of an engine.
How about all the other gear heads out there. Do any of you really shift without lifting???????????
I guess I need to trade my four speed cars in for automatics, I can live with that.
