my dad loves older caravans...

and i've had 3 k-cars as field cars

and i can vouch that they will take a serious beating...

i loaded one up with cinder blocks...filled up the entire back seat, trunk, and passenger seat

then drove it fast as possible it took the weight at first

then i emptied it and went around a corner and the entire back end fell out of it laugh.gif

i drove that car with no rear-end for a week till my dad finally said wtf kid and made me fix it

why would you DOWNSHIFT to pass someone?


When you're downshifting and you press the accelerator you actually go faster than if you would upshift. This is typically done between 4th and 5th gear, at least in my car which is 5spd. You can pass someone easily going in 5th gear, but if you hit the gas in 5th, then drop to 4th your car will "jump", or accelerate more than if you floored the car in 5th. You will consume more gas, and wear your engine more using this method. I recommend passing in upshifts, and downshifting to slow down. However in racing downshifting to pass is nice because you do get more power, and then upshift so you can accelerate more. Make sense?
