Like Kosta said, slip it.

If you want to go fast at the expense of your clutch... rev it to 4k, and as it's still on the way up, lift your foot quickly off of the clutch (don't sidestep or fully drop it); you should smell a big stinky clutch smell as you're thrown back in your seat. Remember to shift to second once the g-forces have diminished enough to reach your shifter.

like avedis said, slip it....

I always try not to launch when racing because I don't feel the need to hurt your clutch for a pointless street race.

 

I think power shifting is using muscle instead of clutch to try to change gears. I had a friend who did that and his car didnt do so well after awhile...

 

power shifting = shifting iwthout letting go of the accelerator

 

ouch

 

why would you power shift, what could be the advantage? all i can see it doing is making your car cry
