Geez. Tough crowd.

Either my past experience with manual cars is different than I remember OR none of you bothered to really read what I was saying. Of course it's rev matching and throttle blipping - DUH. That's not what I'm asking about.

What I'm saying is that in my past 350 and Tiburon GT (both manuals) I always had to modulate the throttle differently depending on my RPMs to match revs properly for a good downshift. With my 370, I've found that the pedal stomp, no matter where I am on the tach, gives me a great match. I didn't opt for the SynchroMatch but I'm wondering if the ECU still plays a hand, because I've never had the pedal pushed to the floor like that without the revs jumping way too high for a smooth downshift
