How to Drag Race your 1.8T

Ah cool - learn something new every day. I always called the first power shifting, and the last, suicidal. :ed:

Speed shifting is when you shift without letting up on the throttle. Usually you bounce off of the 7500 RPM rev limiter.

Power shifting is when you shift without letting up on the throttle, and without using the clutch. It can be done, but is very hard on the transmission. Most people who do this become expert transmission rebuilders (or simply broke, or both) in a short period of time.
