ahh the ol double clutch! Well i have to use it now cause my synchros are out. But in my 67 mustang i "speed shift". My dad said in the 60's and 50's if you speed shift you could shift faster than an automatic tranny. but that doesn't work today. I still speed shift when i street race. WARNING! this can be very bad for ur car unless ur good, but to get good u gotta practice! here is how ya do it - when ur racing and ur going to shift from gear to gear ( u gotta be fast *** though ) keep the pedal to the metal (floored) and push in the clutch just enough to shift and then pop it out. But if ur not quick enough you will float the valves or maybe even throw a rod or something. if ur good then it is just has good as an automatic. at 16 i have been known as the fastest shift in the south!
