Yep, Nissan's 370Z has had SynchroRevMatch as part of its Sport/NISMO packages for a few years now, and from what I've heard through friends it's very simple and works really well... Although it makes me wonder at what point on the spectrum does a "manual" become an "automatic"

- mercnet 13y agoSometimes I do not have the right shoes on to rev match so I can see this feature being useful. I would consider a car a manual if the user has to press a clutch in before changing gears.
- philsnow 13y agoRight... shoes? I haven't driven a stick regularly since high school, don't people rev match with their ears ?
- TomEllis 13y agoYes right shoes. If you want to heel toe, you can't do it in your steel capped boots http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muxVLOaw2ik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muxVLOaw2ik
- coldpie 13y agoEh, you can revmatch without heel-toeing. I did it for years before I started driving at the track and learned how to heel-toe. You just brake enough for the turn, then let off the brake entirely and blip the throttle and drop the clutch while turning.
