If people can goto the race track and with a stock transmission, then it should be fine to not have to floor the clutch to the absolute floor before changing gears. I personaly dont do that myself, but what i do is as im pressing the pedal down, im applying gentle pressure to shifter and by the time my foot is all the way down im already in neutral and am forcing it into the next gear, like all one fluid motion.

Hi,
Stow the stuff about the DMV, we're talking about operating the machine and he
will cause excess wear, premature failure, and increased maintenance costs.
Good Driving is not an Art or Natural Ability, it's a Skill to be learned and you don't learn by developing sloppy habits.
Also, your described method of shifting will cause premature wear to the synchros - you should not pressure the stick until the clutch is disengaged. Drive as you wish, it's your car, but I won't be the only one to say I told you so when you're paying for a repair which could have been avoided...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
