The Nissan 370Z

You're not even supposed to use the clutch. If you rev match correctly, you won't have to.

Depends on if you're rev matching the gearbox or just dialing out shift lurch by rev matching the clutch plates.  If you're matching the gearbox, yes, you don't even need to use the clutch.

That's how real enthusiasts do it

Yeah, the original poster just made a mistake.  It's the automatic trans with a torque converter (no DSG) that does the rev matching, not the 6MT

Ah, thanks for clarifying that.

[Cookie Monster]

Rev matching is where you press the gas before letting the clutch out after downshifting, right?

I do that all the time. I'm so unsmooth in an MT car that I need it to drive somewhat smoothly.

[sportyaccordy]

Ah, thanks for clarifying that.

I feel like such a dork now.

[heelntoe]

I would find that extremely annoying.

Exactly how does it know which gear you're going to downshift into, or whether or not you're going to downshift at all?

Interesting concept, but completely useless.

it might rev match if you tap the throttle after clutching in....

[Catman]

I don't care about rev matching.

I blame rev matching on Obama.

[Catman]

I blame rev matching on Obama.

I was thinking the same thing....weird.  I think it's more devious then that though.  Obama certainly had a hand in that headlight design or even more likely Biden.

And maybe those gargantuan door handles, too.

Without a doubt.  They look Borg.

Borg.  It sounds Swedish.

You completely missed the reference.  First Contact?

No I get it.  Not sure where the pic is from.  That handle does look Borg though.

This is getting annoying.  Keep politics in political threads if you're just post inane bullshit like this. 

I will report the next one.

LOL!  I started it.  I will tone it down for you.

Report Obama Yo'momma.

See, look what you did.  You got me in trouble!

looking forward to the specs on wensday.

I'd like to hear numbers like 350HP and 3100-3200lbs.

[omicron]

It's very Japanese and very Z-car, without a doubt. The front grille/bumper and headlights sadden me, however, because the side and rear views are so delightfully origami-tastic and distinctive.

I heard 600bhp, 2200lbs, and 70mpg.

Killing time waiting for the tow truck?

You could be arranging the 3 phone numbers in your address book.

To who?  The mod who started it? 

I'm sure Obama will ease your anger.

Well, according to the official specs on C&D, it's the 6 speed manual that rev matches (as does the auto, but that's not a new feature).  It's also apparently (and thankfully) optional.  Unfortunately, it's packaged with the limited-slip diff as part of a sports package.... sigh....  Hope it has an off switch.

whats wrong with limited slop?

Problem is that the only way to get the limited slip is to get it packaged with that stupid rev-matching nonsense.
