Well the issue is hills with Stop signs. Slowing, coming to the Stop sign and wanting to be in first to edge up toward the stop. Or.... same situation with a few cars headed to the stop sign.... really don't want to come to a complete stop to be in first.

I assume double clutching is quite similar to toe & heal down shifting?? I have had a bit of practice at toe & heal but it never occured to me to try that to get into first on a roll......

I do agree with Ownen.. a huge part of tha allure of the old cars is how they drive and getting used to their quirks... that's why my 120 doesn't have a Chevy 350 with a modern suspension and trans ;)

Thanks for the input fellas!
