[DML] Re: Slam/RPM Shifting, Part Deux

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The fun begins when you go for a gear and you miss it or you get in
the wrong, lower one. If you happen to get in a gear that is too low
you can overspeed the trans, lock up the rear wheels, and/or go for a
spin. If you force it into a gear you can crack the gearcase. Again,
if you know what you are doing and it is YOUR CAR you can do whatever
you want. I just think if you are giving advice on this method of
shifting you need to warn about the dangers. This is an extreme
driving technique and most people would not do it correctly. Same sort
of advice on snapping the emergency brake and whipping the steering
wheel to do a spin. It is called a "Bootlegger's turn" and can be done
but again I would not recomend doing it on a public road.
