Better With Synchro-Rev Off?

This is a simple issue - SRM causes the revs to hang until you put it into 2nd. So you have to clutch in and go to second quickly for the revs to start dropping, then you have to wait a few seconds for the revs to drop before you engage the clutch. If you don't wait the few seconds, your shift will be jerky. However, this is only at low RPM. When you're up in the 5.5K+ range you can pretty much shift right away without the delay.

I think it wastes gas rev matching I hate going in hot into a corner and that rev matching revs the hell out of the motor going into a lower gear. It is easier to drive with it off. I guess for those of us who are used to driving stick for years it is easier without it.

You are hardly wasting more than a few ounces of gas with revmatching for your entire tank - nothing that would amount to more than 1/4 mile of driving.
