Race long enough and Im certain your trasmission will be costing you more than 1/10 a second...like retireing early due to FUC**D UP GEARS!!! Earlier you said that daily driving was probably fine for floating, NOT racing. Your trans fluid temp HAS to be running very high, and your RPM range is probably consistantly above 4500 which would be HELL on your transmission if you shift without clutching...I cant even imagine what this would sound like trying to force your car into gear...i think you are all on crack if you do this.
