Easy with a gas engine. Much harder with an Electric Motor and a Z2K controller. It's REALLY REALLY easy to wind the motor up to max RPM's almost instantly. >The upshift without a clutch is much more annoying, because you have to >wait for the motor to slow down to match speed, and when you are >upshifting it's typically because you want to go faster...so you are >coasting along with no acceleration for 5 seconds holding up traffic. Yup, BUT with the smaller mass of the Electric motor, the synchros can actually force the motor to slow down. -- Tigers prowl and Dragons soar in my dreams... _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
