I can't help to think that those who say "shifts should be deliberate and slow," haven't learned the subtleties of the 911/915.


RE chirps.

"you may have the revs perfectly matched, but you've got too much gas on so" --how would you perfectly match rev's while having too much gas on?
I guess "slow" is a relative term. When I think of a quick shift, I'm thinking of the type of shift you'd see in a muscle car at the strip. I'm certainly not promoting slow that causes the revs to drop below the next gear.

Re Chirping: I did highlight "may" in italics.

Like I said, I think there may be a bit of misunderstanding between us. I suspect you don't promote speed shifting/power shifting/whatever. I'm not promoting shifting so slowly that the car lurches because the revs have dropped too far.
