So I've been driving stick for 6 months now.
I'm good at all and can be super fucking smooth but it seems that no matter how smooth I am, my passengers always lurch forward a bit when I shift. Usually it's girls who are 110lbs and have never been in my car before so they don't expect it I guess. I don't move at all.
What am I doing wrong when shifting?

People just do that because they don't know when you're going to throttle on or off.

Also my car is a 2013 5.0 Mustang so it's pretty torque-y. Is this normal?

>What am I doing wrong when shifting?
You're not shifting smooth enough.
You'll get better as you've been driving for a longer time. No worries
You'll get smoother. Practice with a tall drink in a cupholder.

But where am I messing up so I can fix this?
And it feels like I'm driving baby smooth. And no, I don't mean like their entire bodies lunge forward just their heads lurch forward a tiny bit.

You can't change physics.
When you step off the accelerator to shift, the car stops accelerating, but not their heads.

You could minimize the time between shifting to avoid it.
You could also step off the accelerator more slowly to make the car's momentum change less sudden for them.

What if I shift without stepping off the gas?

Girls like to feel tossed around a little bit. Don't worry about it. Just imagine they're nodding "Yeah give it to me"

That would wear out the clutch unnecessarily.

I like the way you think.
Try this: when you go to shift don't let off the gas until you start pushing the clutch in so that you get a little blip and your revs go up by a few hundred when the clutch is out. This should make it a smoother transition when letting off the gas.

Watch your passengers lurch forwards as you red line and scare seven shades of shit out of them.
