Poll: Do you prefer the Synchro Rev or with it Off?

urvokbm

im 21 years old and can drive manual VERY well. I could heel-toe like a champion in my single turbo 350z when I had it. Since i've had the 370z I think I took SRM off once just to figure out how the button works. Not gonna lie, after reading this thread I turned SRM off just to see if I could still heel-toe and wow was I surprised. I'm EXTREMELY rusty, and thats an understatement. Not only did my heel-toe technique suffer, but my upshifts and my downshifts were sloppy as well. It took me a few minutes of driving before I was able to properly rev match a downshift. Needless to say, we are totally spoiled with synchro rev match. Good thing my next car will be a GTR and I wont have to worry about brushing up on my skills

Yeah, but a flappy-paddle gearbox is not a real/traditional manual gearbox.

I agree. But with the current technology, pure manual car can no longer provide the best acceleration any more. For a lot of sports cars nowadays, the "auto" is actually faster than the "standard"

Maybe so, but a purest/traditionalist who enjoys a manual gearbox was what I was referring to. (BTW, I voted SRM off.)

I agree with you on this as well. A pure manual will always give the driver the best control for the car. I personally would take a manual over any form of automatic any day, but keep that in mind that a manual is also more prone to human errors. I personally like to have SRM on at all time. This isn't my first manual car, but I just find it make my shifting much smoother than what I could've done just by myself

6MT

Fair enough. I just don't use it.
