Your spelling is actually quite good for a second language. Wish I was as proficient in your 1st language. (french I assume?)

See below for where you compare yourself to Senna. It's alright. We all have fantasies!

Is your car shifting better now? We kind of got side tracked on your engine rpm's, but that is also the root of your shifting issues.

Good luck and enjoy your new car!

p.s. Sorry for all the abuse accusations.

No worries =)
Well I have been driving it a lot yesterday since it was a nice day and once the car was nice and warmed up it was all good.
I can't wait for spring time to fully enjoy it.

Most people believe Senna did that because he drove a lot of cars
what he does there is very typical for any track driving - during downshift he hits a throttle a bit to increase revs so car would not get unbalance at the moment when lower gear engages. acura nsx he drives is not turbo, it is NA car, if I am not mistaken of exact model in the video.

here is another good heel&toe sample video.

none of that got anything to do with your problem or street driving or engine lugging.
