Synchro rev match benefit

deepradhu

Some one told me that the SynchroRev matching available with the sports package helps improve the mileage as it brings the RPM to correct value while shifting, this helps reduce stress on clutch and transmission.

Elsewhere I read that SynchroRev match reduces the mileage, especially in city driving!

Which one is true?

I am looking to buy a 370z and thinking if I want to get the sports package. I am definitely not going to take it to Track or Race with it. With everything the base model already has I think it will do more than well on regular freeways. Should I still be looking for the sports package? Would like to hear some advice on this.

Thanks for the replies.

First off- welcome aboard.

The people who think it saves fuel say so because the SRM will not rev the engine any higher than it needs to be.

The people who think it wastes fuel complain that if they "wiggle" the stick, the engine will rev in anticipation of you potentially changing gears.

All that being said...If you're worried about the gas mileage saved/spent by occasionally unnecessarily revving the engine... perhaps this might not be the car for you.

Edit:

With that- the sports package is still a steal for what you get. The SRM continues to be one of my favorite features, the LSD is an added benefit, and the rims are by far (IMO) some of the best looking 'stock' rims on any vehicle to date.
