Yea, and double clutching is a downshift, so why would it matter when they do that drag race anyway? Most people call it "heel and toe" now anyway because it is generally used in road racing. As you can see I have angst against that movie.  |
i think people tried to analyze the movie to much and got turned off by it. i am a racer myself (when ever i can find the time) as well as a mechanic, so i know there are a whole lot of things they did and said wrong in it (my to favorites had to have been the plate in the floor of the eclipse and its magical 10 or so gears) but you have to remember that it is ONLY a movie and i think people should view it as such and not a documentary(sp?) on the street racing culture.
