Default Rev matching, love it

Each of us has reasons for choosing m7 or a8 , for those searching for the golden answer on what is best as said many times before you can't make a bad decision . For those of us with the m7 though the rev matching is amazing. Makes me feel like a race driver and love the looks I get when shifting down . At my summer home here in Michigan this week and a neighbor has a new Porsche Turbo, hell of a car at 190k but everyone in the area is looking at my Z , sorry dude, Chevy wins this one!

Rev match is awesome! The instructors at Spring Mountain, that's all they use now. The Z06's Rev Match is much more quick and solid then on the Stringrays. It's evident when you drive them back to back.

Even the A8 has rev matching!
Love it when I manual shift down from 3rd to 2nd and then 1st.

Favorite legal thing to do on the street: hard braking to a red light starting from whatever your speed limit is from 4th gear sequentially down to first. Rap-um! Rap-um! RAP-UM!! Quicker you do, the higher the blips..Never gets old!

Would that be the sound @ 1:30 in this video? I've asked the question in my thread I posted with this race but no one answered. If so count me on loving rev match on behalf of you guys

I have read that there was an improvement to rev matching in the 2015 model year. Is the comparison you're making between 2014 Stingrays and 2015 Z06s?

Default I love RM but

Taken me a couple of years to really master heel/toe shifting, learned it at Spring Mtn. in 2010, and now there's rev matching.
