Does synchro-rev really matter??

STEVE-O

The car will operate normally as you change gears while you increase speed, but if you are approaching a turn or preparing to overtake another vehicle, the car will automatically rev the engine in anticipation of the lower gear. As you downshift, the transition is seamless and the car will not jerk at all. In any other manual car, you must provide the additional engine speed by depressing the accelerator. Although that is not difficult for enthusiasts, it takes some practice and finesse for novices. I personally think that it is a great technology and it should be embraced. When my lease is up I plan to get a revmatch car.

If you decide to go with the MT6 versus the Auto, it's a no brainer to go for the sport package. For $3k you get the awesome Syncro Rev which in of itself it worth that too me :-) plus limited slip differential, 14" Akebono Sport brakes, 19" forged Rays wheels, and larger sway bars. All that for $3K, it's a total steal!!

Also, I think it depends on how aggressively you drive. When on a twisty back-road, do you find yourself braking heavily approaching a corner, even late-braking a bit - all 4 wheels sliding (controllably) at the limit of adhesion (not skidding) while simultaneously shifting from 3rd to second early in the corner so you can get into the power-band in 2nd so you can feather the throttle to weight the rear tires for a more balanced slide and power-on earlier on the exit, but you don't want to let the clutch out in 2nd, early-mid corner, with RPMs not matched and induce engine braking which will unweight the rear tires and possibly send you into a spin if you can't heel-toe effectively with your right foot to get the RPMs in the right place. I'll admit I suck at heel-toe shifting so I need that help.

Yeah, then it would be worth it. If you don't drive like that, you will not see much benefit. But since it comes as part of a very well-priced Sports package that also gets you wheels/tires and big brakes, spoilers, you may as well just get the sports package and syncroRev match just somes with it.
