It's pet peeve to see someone jam the shifter into a lower gear without rev matching. We're talking several thousand RPM jump. So I've decided not to let anyone test my car if they can't rev match when downshifting. I have SRM, but decided to turn it off in case people freak out over it, but I'll probably leave it on for them. [shrugs] Plus, I rather not coast in neutral and to keep it in gear for emergencies. __________________
