SRM: Who has it and uses/doesn't use it?

GingaBreadMan · 12-05-2009, 05:55 PM

During my break-in period (1st 1.5k miles) I didn't use SRM. Since then I don't leave home without it. I left it off by accident on 2 occasions. During a sweeping left hander I down shifted from 6th to 4th gear and the rear end slid a little bit. Thankfully it was controllable. Also when I was doing 40mph in 6th gear and down shifted yet again to 4th and the rear wheels gave a really nice chirp.

After 40 years of Rev Matching manually, I'm more than happy to now let the car do it. I can spend more time on line selection, brake modulation etc. It does make you a better driver if you use it that way. Technology is a wonderful thing. Screw that old school stuff...I've paid my dues. (more than a few times)
