First of all don't ever compare anything we drive to an F1 race car. The tech in one of those is gross!!! I love those things. Anyway, the only tiptronic/auto/electronic shifting that really works well is the F1 from ferrari. Audi's seamless automatic that will be on a few of the euro spec cars next year is going to be the closest thing to seamless shifting and power ever. With some fine tuning they may actually design a seamless automatic w/o the powerloss of most. That being said even that isn't perfect.....not that a 5 speed is either but there is a reason that the clutch is in every manual car(even race cars). The RPM ranges that make clutchless shifting possible don't make you go any faster. Since you don't gain any from it why put your car through that abuse?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?? Power shifting is when you shift gears and don't lift your foot from the gas. you still clutch and switch gears but you maintain RPM's by not taking the foot off the gas. You may ease the pedal as not to run to redline between shifts but you don't actually disengage your foot from the pedal. In the end..........Why would you ever want to shift w/o the clutch unless you have an electronic gear box(which cost more than I'll ever afford as a mod)?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
