Serious inquiry though.. do you guys actually keep your synchrorev on? I've had mine turned off most of the time since I got my car. It's cool and all but kinda bugs me whenever I clutch in for neutral to stop for any lights/stop signs it revs. Feels almost like I'm abusing the box when I'm stuck in stop-and-go traffic. :eek:

The odd time I actually decide to take some corners Paul Walker style I just heel-toe myself (I'm professional like that). :driving:

There's a thread somewhere in this forum talking about your inquiry, look it up.

I don't have SRM in my car cos I didn't take the Sports-Package.

I am more old-school, if I want rev-match, I heel-toe, it is the art of driving MT. :tup:

Google 'Heel and toe' driving. It's a more involving way to drive a manual transmission, and essential if you want to be smooth on a track.

I've only had my Z for a little over a week and quit using the syncrorev real quick. Takes all the fun out of downshifting a manual. It might be better at the track, but I'm so used to blipping the throttle with the side of my foot, I found the computer and I were fighting each other. Another reason I would never want a paddle shifter. Someone told me that Porsche will soon not offer a real manual...sad. Come to think of it, I'm not sure Ferrari offers a stick anymore.

I just leave it in one gear the whole time.

^THIS^ 100%

I can drive the hell outta MT but manual mode on AT is like walking and chewing bubble gum at the same time - I wind up with my foot stuck to my elbow. :icon14:
