ok, there's J-turns, the flick, slam shifting ,and reverse donuts, what else? hummmm
how about the speed up and coast technique? When I can time this perfectly on freeway traffic jams here in LA and not become an irritation to my fellow commuters, I get roughly 20% more ( 36 mpg vs. 30 mpg) fuel milage than regular "gas and brake city driving" on the civic.

Yeh maybe i should pay a little more attention to the health of my car after all these attempts at imitating Mr. Needell's techniques.. I don't particularly like the idea of "slam-shifting" and then loosing my first gear.
Although, i did hear somewhere that on the Hennessey Viper 800TT, to get the fastest 0-60 times, they used the "cheater" slick tyres and didn't use the clutch at all on changes to save time! (The car was only good for a couple of runs before some serious repair was needed!)

I think the key is to do all this is somebody else's car; then you can smoke the tyres - and not worry about the bill, nor the damage! Although may need a very sympathetic friend!! Even better a rental car.. Actually has anybody seen the video of "Rental Car Abuse"?? I think its off www.racingflix.com but not sure, will have to check because it's one hell of a waste of tyres!
