Synchro Rev Match on MANUAL TRANS.. WHAT??
The new 370z has a syncro rev match that will blip the transmission, to match the lower gear revs in a downshift, IN MANUAL..
i've been trying to find out a little more on how this works.. When would it blip the throttle, as your foot is being released from the clutch?? anyone try this feature? seems like too much for me but definetly interesting to see this system in a manual.. (tried to get a link to explain further but no luck..)

Bingo! They have a few in stock here. I am going to test this out as soon as this crapola weather moves out. I will let you know what's up...or down. The reviews (one video is on here some where) says it is actually quite the little gizmo.

When you push in the clutch, shift down, and release the clutch, the computer blips the throttle without any input as the clutch is re-engaged. I think it's brilliant. I might try to test drive one within the near future.

My question is... what's the point?
So lame douche-bags that can't heel-toe for themselves can pretend they can? Don't get me wrong.... This is coming from a Nissan Z Car guy. |

Maybe Nissan is trying to lower the insurance rate on these cars if fewer of them get wrapped around trees.

I think its pretty cool, but don't our BMW's have something similar already. I know its not for the same purpose, IE performance. But it is for convience. When you have cruise control on and you downshift, the car rev matches on the downshift.

Modern cars (i.e newer than the '60s) can (and do) survive hundreds of thousands of miles without revmatching on normal downshifts. Not talking about simply mashing it into lower gears at speed, but normal downshifting in day to day driving.

My car can make 5 more hp on premium fuel, but unless I'm on the track, it's not necessary and won't make a bit of difference.

Wow, sounds really interesting. Iīd love to see how it actually works in real life. Probably never a good as a good heal and toe but then again most donīt know how to do it anyway.
