Nah not long at all. IS that a standard down shift? No one really taught me standard lol my down shifts are usually pretty quick unless i'm going into 2nd or 1st

Don't do this... You're riding the clutch at the friction point until revs drop. It be less stress on the car for you to just teach yourself how to rev match. Trial and error!

Or just get the Sport package SRM system

Yah. I too think whoever thought of putting wide brake pedal on AT is an idiot.

Yeah, pretty much.

I drove the Nissan Juke Performance Motorsport used to have sitting around back in the day - I rev-matched it the first few times, and a few others time I forgot (I was half expecting it to do it for me...and half lazy since they told me I could push it around a little).

Anyway, I was pretty surprised when I realized that I did not rev match a few times and didn't feel that awful drivetrain jolt as much from the Juke as I would a 350Z, for example. Fun little car that thing was.
