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

It is probably due to the heavy flywheel. In another thread, travis is putting a new lighter flywheel in, it will be interesting to see if it goes away. I can say this, it bothers me.

One thing that I notice is that whenever I downshift (at every turn or stop), it feels like the rev match point is slightly higher then it should be, and I feel a slight surge forward when I do it, and can definately feel it during stops. Anyone else having this feeling? Now, I am very anal when I drive and have heel/toed for many, many years, on the street and on the track, but it just seems that when I use this feature (which is always), it doesn't shift and decelerate immediately, there is a split second that it feels like a lurch forward (very, very small, but noticeable). I also have tried to drive without it, and it is almost impossible to be smooth on downshift - you have to be perfect or it won't be smooth at all - I feel sorry for those that don't have this option. Let me know what you guys are feeling.
