Do you just hit the gas on the third honk or do you ride the clutch out?

I'd use 2nd gear at 40mph. It'll go by quick, but gives you a good entry into 3rd gear. Also, my car anyway (same part types as buschur stage 4 but different brands) clearly pulls harder from 6000-7500rpm.

Left foot brake. Just rest your left foot on the brake and slowly accelerate while slowly applying more brake pedal pressure. If you do it right then your RPMs and boost will climb but you remain at the same speed. When you let your foot off the brake you are already in boost so get a little jump . Now, I'm not saying that this is good for anything in your drivetrain, or your brakes, but it does work.

lol. Guess you honk in the middle of driving for no reason what so ever.

Just driving around, honking three times, braking and throttling to increase boost.

lol.

Good one.

Brake boosting...this is what I do especially on hwy races in 3rd gear from 55-60 mph roll. Street racing is bad though.

Yep, you might get that crown vic, but good luck against that radio.......it's faster......gaurantee'd. Not saying that I have not played with other cars before, but don't delude yourself into thinking that you are running from that one cruiser. They're like killer bee's, once one is pissed off the rest of em' are comin for you. I live in Dallas, and there are a LOT of them here.
