6MT vs DCT ... Let the fun continue ...
You said most people are capable of doing it.

I don't think that's true.

Most people aren't experienced. You are. That is a big difference.

Like elp_jc said (even though he was partially joking ) 99.99% of the people that own this car don't track it exclusively. I used to own a stick and drove it all the time, this is my first auto. I wanted all the bells and whistles and neat things. I don't miss the stick at all. But even though I drove a stick, I wouldn't say I am capable of perfectly rev matching. Maybe sometimes I would nail it, but I think it was more luck than anything else. I honestly don't think that the majority of people are capable of it.
