well, launch control is also a great training aid for those trying to dial-in their 1/4 times. Once you hit time within 3/10ths to 5/10ths of each other, time to disengage the LC and try manual launches.
FUN!!!!
As far as NLS, I think anyone can bang the next gear without hitting the clutch if they sense the timing perfectly. The revs have to be just right. I've done it before, in a worn out 4-banger, and a 2-stroke motocross bike.
If there's a computer nannie that helps with this, that's cool. but apparently it wont be available on the Maro.
Sooooo. it will put me back to square one. Learn the manual with a car that has enough torque and HP to be forgiving of rookie mistakes.
I, for one, will be concentrating solely on rev-matching downshifts, and no-clutch upshifts. (road track driving style, not 1/4 mile).
I guess I picked one heck of a car to learn with.
Hopefully I wont chew any gear teeth in the process... or grenade any tranny's - or pop any rear diffs........
