guess it's a difference in definition, to me emergency stops are when a squirrel runs out in front of ur car and u have to stop within a few meters.

apparently you don't know the difference between emergency stop and slowing down.

:thumbsup:
I drive w/ my hands at the 9 and 3 positions all the time.

yes, it is bad mechanically. don't rest your hand on top of the shifter.

On the track at my PDC events every instructor told me to keep both hands on the wheel, and make smooth quick shifts like you're holding an egg. It takes no time at all to reach down for the shifter and clutch in if you need to.

Of course, when I'm on the street, I'll sometimes rest my hand on the shifter just for a change of feel.

too much initial d for u
heel and toe does NOT help you stop faster

i smell fc already.

Even if you heel toe it only applies to down shifting at a safe distance with plenty of time. Heel toe does not apply to emergency stop. :haha::haha:

i rest my fingers on the paddle shifters... is that bad :P

you forgot the crotch grab

lol a friend of mine with an auto, shakes the shifter left and right for every stop !! :haha:

do manual drivers shake the shifter a lot?

i only do it once when i start it. and then that's it. for the most part i always know what gear i'm in.

well i dont shake it but i would check it by moving it all the way left or right to see if im in N

^ Don't lie to me theres no gears on the MTR. =P

hahahahh :rofl:

lol now i do it with the mtr handle thing its upside down tho haha
btw did u get the car fixed ?
