I have a manual and a Pro 5.0. I can bang the gears pretty good, at least I impress all my friends. What makes anyone a good shifter, and am I good, or just ok? How could I tell?

Paul has some videos around here somewhere (actually probably got lost in the server crash) where he is banging through the gears, and holy ***** he makes everybody else I've seen look like they're driving an 18-wheeler. Ask him for the videos, they were really tight.
 
Yeah I'm somewhat afraid to really try to shift my car hard with 111,000 miles on it because I don't want to put a new tranny in right now because I have no funds. Well except for performance parts. HAHA. But I do shift pretty good but I believe I can do more.

Anyone power shift a stock T5???
 
in paul's threads he talked about moving his seat up to push the gas/clutch and reach the shifter better, i'm short, so i did this tonight, and it really helps. But i only do it when racing at the track like paul :D
