This is useful when the clutch wouldn't hold the car when let up slightly. It's not a professional technique, but a workaround for old beat-up cars. Not to be confused with the heel-toe downshift. Well, it's also better for the clutch, but might not really be worth it. And not even new cars can hol...

If you keep the revs below typical use, it will last longer, and if you're constantly high-revving, it will not last as lo...

i dont think you understand what i'm trying to say. revving at standstill is normal. but rev matching from already say 2000 rpms to 3000 rpms is forcing your engine beyond normal driving conditions. theres no need to blip at such high rpms.

I think hes talking about hills. Keeping the car from rolling backwards using the clutch and gas is a VERY bad idea. Just use the brakes even if it is for a 3 second stop. yeah i definately know its bad to hold the clutch at FP on a hill to stop it for rolling but im talking about holding FP on a f...
