I want the scoops on aero mods and driving technique.

Ive actually been doing a lot of coasting.
Clutch In at low speeds
Neutral in higher speeds
Redline up the hill (j/k)


I think we covered aero too, but feel free to chime in.

Why change technique with speed? It doesn't matter what your vehicle speed is... the engine speed will be at idle while you're in neutral (unless you turn the engine off, in which case it doesn't matter if you're in neutral or clutching).

The problem with clutching for extended periods is that the clutch release bearing doesn't have a cooling mechanism. It will heat up, and eventually, it will fail. Best bet, regardless of speed, is just to pop the gear selector into neutral. (I don't even use the clutch pedal to take the selector out of gear... just pull it out while you're letting off the gas pedal, and it will slide right out.)
