The difference with older cars to me is that the revs fall sooo much faster. Modern computer controlled engines with emission controls come down so slowly I have begun to wonder the benefit of double clutching unless you have a race prepped engine. You don't have to baby the syncros as much and are less likely to beat the syncros in the modern cars.

Maybe I need to learn to drive the Box completely differently from the 914. As an old timer who learned on what are now old cars I guess I need some new tricks.
