what RPM are U downshifting to next lower gear...2500-3000K seems like a sweet spot for me so as to not overrev engine...I never downshift lower than 3rd gear.
what are your thoughts.

Down shift into 2nd and 1st and you will hear how awesome the rev match sounds. Don't worry about doing any damage to the car by down shifting into 2nd or 1st. The car won't down shift into a gear if the RPM's are too high. You will hear beep if that happens.

KMO-II, MagmaRed370z and Lemkey99 like this.
