Q for those that have driven the car for a while now with Synchro Rev

It sounds like the engine is blipping higher than the speed you're going. It is supposed to be smooth transitions... but I can understand the amount of calculation the computer have to go through (or whatever it is that's governing the SRM). When doing it manually at a slow, steady pace to approach stop, it can be tricky at times.

We are talking 100s and it isn't obvious on the tach, but an observant driver will feel it.

It is in the name. Syncro Rev Match. The car is matching with the slight surge you feel forward to prevent "quick lock" engagement of the clutch and fly. The sole purpose of this feature is to extend the life of the clutch. Hopefully that surge you feel means that its actually doing its job.

Another reason could be the quick response then decel due to the drive shaft. This is the first ride that does not cost over 100K that comes stock with a carbon shaft. The lighter weight of the shaft transfers energy quicker to the rear end.

More importantly, it can avoid "shift shock" or "transmission shock" during hard shifting.. and so far for me I would give it 90% useful, 10% annoying so far. Luckily, you can turn it off
