Default Paddle Shift on the C7 legit?

How are the paddle shift on the C7? Syncmatched and responsive? I can't find a video or someone downshifting or demonstrating in a video anywhere. Thanks in advance.

I find myself a bit curious about this as well. Nothing on YouTube yet. Would love to see if I made the "wrong" choice with the M7.

The C6 already had downshift rev matching and staged upshifts. The upshifts were pretty damn crisp. The downshifts were less so.

Ah thanks, well its ok cause the Z07 is guarantee beast when its released. Went ahead and picked up a ZR1 and just wait for the Z07. The C7 Base isn't something im looking for.
