This is almost like what a slipper clutch on a sport bike does. Except instead of rev matching a slipper prevents your rear wheel from locking up under abrubt downshifts by causing it to 'slip'.
On a bike it feels pretty cool and is a good feature. I will have to try it on the Z. |

What it says. There is no need to rev match in daily driving in modern cars. It's only done by boy racers who want to look like they know how to drive a manual trans car in order to feel superior to people that either just drive normally in a manual trans car or who drive a car with an automatic. They do it to flog their egos and feel like they know what they are doing.

I don't understand this at all really. Why get a manual transmission if you want the car to do the work for you? It sort of defeats the point of having fun driving a manual. I for one hate the M3 incline assist (or whatever BMW calls it) where it hold the brakes for 2 seconds in a 6MT so you don't roll back...I mean WTF? It threw me off the first few times. If you have driven 6MTs, there's no need for that. So again, what is the point in that or this rev-matching thing? Are they trying to attract new buyers to manual transmissions? Seems odd..Or maybe just trying to help out people that can't drive them well. I'm certain it's the latter. Safety systems for people who can't drive properly..

Alot of jelous people out there eh.
WTF this is a great feature, think about it people, if this was a bmw and you could add it to the car you have you would like it. WTF would you want to heel toe when the car can do it for you, its not less of a driver, it enables the driver to focus on other things period. ITs an imporvement. technology FTW.

No I would NOT want it, just as I said I don't want that "hill assist" crap. The point of getting a manual transmission is to work it and the pedals yourself. If you don't want to, get a DCT, or an auto. I don't see the point. It's silly, sorry. |

Can this feature me turned off so you can rev match yourself? It'd be sad if the answer is no. |

I wonder what happens with the case of money shift. It will be sweet if it detects that it will need to be revved too high of an RPM and will lock you out from entering that certain gear.

I think this is a fantastic feature and don't really understand why anybody would have a problem with it. It can be turned off. I would love to try it out...

My point is that a person who drives a manual, is so used to rev-matching, that this would just get in the way. It would confuse me to NOT hit the gas. I would end up fighting with it. Yes I can turn it OFF, I understand. I just don't get the attraction. Like one guy in the video said though, it's maybe good for learning to drive a manual, but I don't even see that. Because one would be learning the wrong way. So it seems the opposite. So why not just get a DCT or auto? What's next? A manual transmission that also pushes the clutch pedal in and out when it sense your hand on the gear lever? See what I mean? Weird... |

But that defeats the point of driving a manual! It's like DSC. If you have it on at the track, and you know how to drive/correct the car, it will get in your way. Plus it will eat brakes!

I just wanted to know if this synchro feature is smart and fast enough to detect that 'hey, if you're going to go in 2nd gear at this speed, you're going to over rev' and lock out the gear on you. Thus saving you the headache and $$$ on fixing the damage. I personally love using all 3 pedals and have no problem rev matching. My mom told me that if you can drive a manual like an auto, that's when you know you're good. She told me this when I first drove manual several years ago, lol. |
