Amazing. But Stick shift guys do it by dropping gears. You can also do it by running the autostick in lower gears.

Each school of thought has their own model but IMHO,
Old school of course;
downshifting throws the weight forward, puts therear wheels a little loose and neverstops the steering wheels from rotation. Important in steering.
Old school;
Brakes are for stopping, not driving.

That said, the auto's don't respond with clutch feel, AKA feathering, so it is tricky to do it even with the auto stick.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun and learned some cool techniques. Be fun to test them on the Dragon.

roadster with a stick

the way it should be!
