This video has some pushing, and also a great upset win in finals.

This link shows the shifting very well, and the pushing ability. You can see the front end lift up about an inch or two whenever I shift. You can also see how fast it is too.
Sorry, forgot the other link, this is from the driver station, so you can see the shifting very well.
