Uh, you can stop faster if you learn how to heel-toe, i.e. downshift well while braking. You will get the added benefit of the engine braking, as well as the disc brakes.

some one previously said that holding the clutch all the way in will wear out the throw out bearing and that is incorrect. Sliping or riding the clutch at a stop light (to balance the car) will wear out the throw out bearing however having it pressed in all the way at a stop light will not.

I tend to do that at long lights, probably because of the truck thing. Macks have HEAVY clutch springs!

Also, when your taking a turn and you downshift to 2nd gear. We all put it into gear before we take the turn, are you holding the clutch wile going around the turn? Or you slow down and go in 2nd around the turn not using the clutch at all?

Yea, I slow down and put it into 2nd gear. I hold the clutch 1/2 through the turn and then accelerate. Im not sure if im supposted to hold the clutch through part of the turn, or im supposed to let go of it after I put it into gear.
