I've done it for years, when Drag Racing, of course.
At 7K, shift and surge forward.

It's all in the driver. That's why I used whoop on faster cars with my old SE.

i've tried it a couple times. back when i first got my car; never heard it called flat shifting. lol we used to call it power shifting. if your quick and don't miss a gear it's very very very effective, especially when your boosting!
