Rip it and shift it

When you are driving a manual car and you floor it to redline before forcefully jamming the shifter into the next gear. Bonus points for leaving your car at redline for several seconds and/or money shifting

Teusz Shift

A loud, distinct single "POP!" sound during an upshift.

Cars that have this are one that are performance oriented with GMs 10 speed hydramatic like the Camaro, Corvette and CT4/5 V and V Blackwing, Genesis g70 and more.
Cars with upshift "farts," such as those using DSG, dual-clutch, ZF, etc., do not count.
Wow, Greg, did you hear that Teusz Shift?

While accelerating hard, Thug shifted his Camaro all the way to fifth gear, with each shift making a loud, distinct Teusz Shift sound."
Dang, Santos, did you hear those Teusz Shifts?
I love the Teusz Shifts in my Cadillac V Series.
