So I have read up a little on the speed 3 and I was wondering what this statement means
"Calls to Mazda yielded tips: Pop the clutch at 2900 rpm, upshift at 6000 — redline is 6700 — and flat-shift through second and third (which means don’t lift at all — the mechanical equivalent of dropping a Steinway on the clutch and half-shafts and violating our test procedure)."
I'm really wondering what that flat-shift statement means.
I found it in this car and driver add. http://www.caranddriver.com/roadtests/1172...zdaspeed-3.html
