370z SynchroRev Match
On the 370z website they talk about the new feature on the 6 speed tranny. Supposibly the tranny will automatically rev match on your downshifts. So if you are say crusing in 6th gear at 50mph and downshift to 3rd and hammer it the tranny will "automatically" rev match for you. Do any other vehicals have this? If so does it actually work?

Interesting. It looks like it has a clutch position and shifter position sensor and blips the throttle for you when you downshift. That's actually pretty cool.

It's funny, I read about this and thought about how simple of an idea it was. I can't believe this isn't common place. I don't know how much I'll like it, I'd probably turn it off, but the idea is great.

Nissan brought one by our office last Thurs, got to go over it for about an hour and take it for a short drive. We will have one for three days next week.

A quick test of the 370Z S-drive.... Keep in mind we only had the car for a short time, so our test was rather tame due to being on a public street.

For those that think they can do better, there is a switch to turn it off.

Not to mention you'll be faster around the track since you only have to concentrate on braking and turning and not worry about blipping the throttle or unsettling the car just before you turn in.

I'm unsure... some of you have your preset opinions, but I'd have to drive it myself to know how I feel about it.... At the very least it'll be interesting, even if I prefer to do it myself. I'll end up test driving one sometime...
