powershifting is when you don't take your foot off the gas during the shift. Shifting without the clutch is bad

Powershifting is bad also; not letting go of the gas while shifting.

My friend used to do it in his gs-r (shifting without using the clutch); he knew it was really bad but would only do it when racing and you have to like have it down exactly when to shift, although I don't know if it was just a honda thing or what,
I wouldn't suggest it, the pride/arrogance from winning a race will soon drop once you found out you broke something $$$ on your car...
