Lol. Strong if you're just doing street driving. Not so strong when you're chasing lap times with race prepped S2000s and RX8s etc. There is no art, just slam as fast as you can, but I get this feeling you're about to try and prove me wrong...

Owens gearshift technique has to be experienced to be believed.
It's simply next level.

T50s are strong in the way that they take punishment hit TVIS then rev to 8k all day long no issues

I found a certain way to shift in my GE.

Hitting TVIS and revving to 8k all day long would be the motor doing it's job, not the gearbox. Flat shifting at 8000rpm and clutch dumping..that's a different story. I've also found a certain way, the fastest way.

Justin is really, really quick with his tongue. I can vouch for this.

gear changes help how much per lap?

gear changes help how much per lap?

Roughly 2 seconds. Essentially, you never want to be coasting. You need to be either on the throttle or on the brake. Any time spent coasting is time being wasted.

what about your lib?

[owen]

what about your lib?

Too scared to thrash the Lib. I can build a race grade 4AGE for under the price of a factory rebuild of an EJ255. I can also blow 10 T50 gearboxes for the price of 1 STI 6 speed.
