How do you down shift when multiple gears need to be dropped

A place to hang out and discuss all things Porsche.

How do you down shift when multiple gears are to be skipped (i.e. 5th gear to 2nd gear)?

Sequentially until the desired gear is attained
15
48%
Go directly to gear desired and slow car to speed that matches that gear
16
52%
Shift directly to desired gear and pop clutch out to slow the car down :)

For what it's worth, I row down through the gears. It feels more natural to me. Since I do it this way, I can't think of a stronger argument for doing it the other way. :D

Tim, you can export and save the video as .WMV so it can be played on Media player.

OR use something a little less platform specific (so that the other 15% of the people can view it) like MPEG-4...

Hey Tim,

I am not sure what you saved, but its not the video. Use "Save Movie" and it will be saved as a WMV file. That can them be posted.
