hey how do you shift...........yesterday i raced a celica gt beat him by 1 car.......a v8 vortech pickup, and a honda civic..........have you tried to take the o/d off.......put it into 1st, put your left foot on the brake, and your right on the gas......dont push the gas a lot, just a lil...that's how i race....ohh also lower your tire pressure 22-25 psi
