Double Clutch

Do you do it?

In the last year or so I've been double clutching everything I get in including the 1M, everywhere I go.

Yes but more in the context of heel-toe downshifts when slowing down to enter corners or coming to stop lights.

Luv the throttle blipping / rev-matching aural pleasure!

No because modern transmission/syncros don't require it. You can still h/t or revmatch w/o double clutching.

Absolutely not needed on modern trannies.

They have this modern invention called syncros.

Double clutch? No.

Heel and toe downshift. Yes!

I'll sometimes do it for fun, but that's about it.

I always rev match, though.
