2014 Corvette Rev matching with automatic trans
At cruise night 2014 Corvette Stingray owner claims his automatic Corvette with Z51 has rev matching when using the paddle shifter.
I thought the 7-speed manual had rev matching and not automatics.
Couldn't find any information about rev matching with automatic transmission. I also checked the owners manual.
If I missed this info, does the new M5U 8-speed automatic have rev matching?

Technically an auto does rev match, but there is no engagement or disengagement feature on an automatic. It's the nature of the transmission itself.
Active Rev Matching is only on manual transmission cars.
Guy's full of $#!t.

I haven't played with it in an A6 C7, but my A6 ATS 2.0T has rev matching in manual mode.
You click the lever to downshift, and the throttle immediately blips, revs the engine, and the downshift happens smooth as silk, none of that junky downshifting as traditional auto stick stuff does.
I'd honestly be shocked if my Caddy did this and the C7 didn't

Yes It does blip the throttle and acts as sort of a rev matching feature as in a manual trans ---my guess is that it will add to trans life preventing hard downshifts when the RPM's are to high or too low-----AND it sounds really cool !!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what the term "active" rev match means, but the feature I just described; I'm calling it Rev Matching.
