Most of the cars that you can really rip off a good powershift on are RWD cars with the shifter mounted directly on the tranny (not connected w/rods or cables ala Honda). You do lift slightly, but you really have to know your transmission very well to know if you are going to hit or miss. It's all by feel really. Easier demonstrated than explained. Maybe Scott can elaborate a bit more...sleepy time pills kicking in.
Oh, yeah, the laser is running off of a cable shift, too. I haven't tried it in the laser because dsm trannies are problematic to start with and mine is a 75000 mile example that was abused by it's past owner. One screwed up attempt at powershifting and it would probably be time for a transmission rebuild.
I'd love to get a ride in a car to see it demonstrated, but pretty much anybody capable of doing it is going to have too fast of a car for a track ride-along.
