Hmm..
maybe i should share my experience here.
I was an arcade freak.. was an Initial D player, since 5yrs
ago,
since Ver1 to Ver3 now.
Spent tonnes of $ in it.. should i say more than $5k on tat
game.
Yea, u heard me right.. more than $5k...
& joined teams, participated in competitions, break
records,
& ppl look up to me as a pro..
but now wad do i get in e end?
Tat was e childish & foolish me back then..
some of u guys will know who i am.
Thinkin back.. $5k can pay deposit for real car or pay for
studies.
-----------------------------------------
Comin back,
i tot i'm a pro driver back den.. till i took my Class 3.
Only den i realised i've spent my $ & time for moments of empty
merry.
Nothing like e real car.
Realised if u drive real car... PLS dont get too imersed in those
games..
it'll slowly but surely affect your driving in real life,
givin u a fake sense of speed & worsen your sense of judgement
on e road
in real life.
Those kids can play all they can afford,
but i can safely say they'll never make safe drivers on e
roads,
until they hav e right perception of wad is virtual & wad is
real life,
where lives r at stake.
I still enjoy playing Ferrari F355 (wif gear & clutch) once
awhile,
but still... tat's nothing close to driving real life.
------------------------------------------
The kids can corner at 140kmh, or in e case of MaximumTune, 250kmh
above,
cause e game is programmed to handle those corners at TAT
speed...
but your real car chasis & tyres can't, & will give
way.
Tat's wad i call distorted sense of speed.

nOx.. your question..
if u depress accl & change gear on MT cars,
u hav to depress clutch.
Depressing both clutch & accl.. rpm will shoot up. Will hear
your engine roar..
& once let go clutch, rpm will drop, & engine sound is back
to normal
