too funny, congrads on the new car ( if I understand this thread).

I m upstate NY and would be glad to give you lessons on the new turbo .

In manual transmission there is even a point where you could shift gears without using the clutch. At that point is when the smoothest gear change happens and for me is more of a feeling than theory. I have found that changing lower gears after 4000 is better, the more you drive the better you will get. you will get and try to feel the car and connect all the variables. (somehow philosophical, only an opinion)
