how can i shift gears better?

Supras are slow, I've been told this before by people with stock WRXs so they must know.

I've never been close enough to a WRX to hear what he's had to say, cause he was so far away.

Get used to those shifting ranges. Everything gets done smoothly... shift smooth, clutch play is smooth, gas is smooth.

The transmission is synchronized. The shaft speeds are the same because they ride the same shaft. Not driving like that is because of safety concerns and wasting your money via fuel costs.

Reading it in the quote like that, It wasn't exactly what I meant to say.. lol. To shift those shift ranges is to drive it like its stolen. And now that I think of it, I can't remember when I shift, but normally its between the 3500 - 4500 RPM range I believe. Shifting at redline all the time "ice-cream coned" my pistons on my Corolla. When I rebuilt the engine, the piston head was larger than the skirts (like an ice cream cone) due to over revving. I doubt the 7M or JZ would do that because the pistons are heavier, but it would still have the same effect of killing the engine faster than normal driving. Plus.. my Corolla top speed was only 92 MPH...

For normal driving, you want the rpm as low as possible without lugging the engine. So my point agrees with yours.

"how can you shift faster?" you say............. buy an automatic.

Thats probably the best response, take the human element out of it

The planetary gearset is superior to the manual. You can not outshift nor outlaunch an automatic that was built for both.

^^^what nick said with a caveat..,
Stock auto setups are not as quick as stock manual. There is a power differential...
