I h/t everywhere and everything. If you like the sudden jolt and engine going brrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........ ............ while the syncros kick in that's your thing, but your passengers would be plenty more gratefull if you did, and spend much lest time at the doctors office having their collar bone examined after each ride.

Secondly the clutch in while cornering is just plain wrong. Your asking for trouble. I mistakenly did that in a FF at Portland and found myself looking at the front end of an Atlantic car flying backwards at around a 100mph. Thankfully I was driving a formula car as they are well behaved in a snap spins as compared to a road car. Keeping the clutch in with a Fwd car may help curb understeer but in a Rwd configuration you gain nothing but lack of control and the chance to spin. Having the gear engaged before you enter the corner will help you apply power sooner on exit, which means you'll be carrying more speed down the straight, which means you'll be able to catch up and make the pass in the next corner. Holding the clutch down on a slow speed corner doesn't help either. In a production car the best way to make it through a slow speed corner is to drift slightly on entry, deeper in the corner, which helps set your car up to the proper angle for exit, in a straighter line. Doing this in the proper gear and power to the rear wheels will be much easier then trying to control a drift, shift, clutch and gas all at the same time (never mind the people around you).

I like to h/t on the street all the time. Slow speed corners, high speed corners, even stopping for friggin red lights. Knowing how to h/t downshift throughout the rev range just helps make that action an automatic function so that when your on the track in traffic or avoiding an accident on the street you don't have to think about it and can concentrate on other things, like avoiding contact and looking for a way out.
