Yeah, I guess my question wasn't about stability but more about the inability to scrub speed through the engine vs using the brakes, just enough to keep from oversteering or reaching the max capabilities of the tires. With this function, if you enter a turn where you were on the gas, full time, and then let off, just to scrub a little speed off, as you enter the turn, and then gradually get back on the gas through the turn (very common for tracks that use banked Nascar turns), this 'surge' or lack of deceleration will cause understeer/oversteer since you/I would be entering the turn at the edge of grip. I know seems confusing, but is normal on most turns, and with this feeling that get driving around town, I wouldn't feel good going into these types of turns with this scenario and the SRM on.

YAY! I'm excited to hear the results on your new flywheel with SynchroRev.. I just hope that SynchroRev doesn't apply too much gas anticipating a heavier flywheel.. but my logic is probably very flawed.

Sounds like engine braking force may be less in this car than what you are used to... makes sense... one of my driving instructors when I went through Bondurant would tell me, think of the brake pedal as a fine instrument with infinitely variable positions... taking that to heart, means that instead of relying on engine braking we will have to find that very precise braking point where we get the right amount of deceleration for whatever conditions warrant, e.g., constant/decreasing radius turns, negative camber, etc...

with every car, have to adjust driving style, right ? I think this one has advantages too, like a little extra weight on the front so less trail braking needed to get good hookup on front tires

anyways, this will be a much richer discussion once we all have some more track time w/ this car under our belts, we can all agree on that !

we'll see... should be interesting... my theory is that SRM is seeking out the correct RPM and that it will find its way there regardless of what forces are at play in the drivetrain... after all, the drivetrain faces variable resistance coming from the tires, in addition to the different forces associated with changing the mass of the drivetrain itself... but, we'll see

So glad you're getting a flywheel - it's down my mod list a little bit, but not too far. Are you going to change the clutch too?

yes to clutch... don't really view this as necessary but what they hey... i'll keep the oem clutch as spare

I believe what you're describing here is independent of the Synchro Rev Match feature... even w/ it disabled, I (and I'm sure others) have experienced increases in revs that hold upon a spirited gear shift.

What's interesting is that it doesn't happen all the time... has that been your experience also?

three potential contributing factors... 1) SRM, 2) heavy flywheel, 3) slightly mis-timed pedal coordination...

as for 1, i have no data to confirm that SRM would hold the revs higher when up-shifting but it makes some sense. imagine you are accelerating and in the next second you will go from 55 to 60 in 2nd, as that's happening, you press the clutch and start moving the shift lever... SRM sense that you are 'passing the gate' for second gear and b/c you are now going 60 as you 'pass the gate' out of the gear it momentarily thinks you may be going into that gear and ups the revs... then you're on your way to 3rd and SRM targets a lower RPM but the damage was done... just a theory

thing 2, I think this is definitely an issue... i agree, even with SRM off it happens... pushing in the clutch allows the engine to rev without the rest of the drivetrain to slow it down and the momentum built up in the engine internals and flywheel is so great that it gathers RPMs as the clutch is pressed

thing 3, legit... I've been working my timing to adjust to this car... the clutch engagement points are high in the clutch pedal stroke... that means that you have to get off the accelerator VERY early as you go for the clutch

I have no reason to rule out any of these... my solution is to replace the flywheel, work on my timing... but not sure i can do anything about SRM if it really is contributing... I like using it on the track, so not sure I want to defeat it

will know more once the single mass JWT flywheel is in... DDM is shipping to me late next week

I hear you on thing 3. I've been driving a manual since I was 15, but this car is challenging me. The height is odd (I was worried the dealership had burned my clutch off) and the friction point is just strange. I'm hoping the short shift kit will allow me to feel what's going on from the engagement side a bit better.
