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

Oh, gotcha. That rev matching thing would be annoying.

Hey, have a little faith.  Looks like it's going to see what gear you're sliding into, what speed, and where the clutch is, so as you release the clutch, it revs up.  The only way this will work is if this thing is really rev happy, which means a really light fly wheel, or I can't imagine it revving fast enough to the right speed if it only starts when you slide it into gear.

I bet the rev-matching feature will work seamlessly.

Me too, we will know after the first review.

Also MX it looks like there is a off switch to me.



Above and to the right is a shift pattern with s-mode under it. Since this picture is clearly of the manual i don't know what else the button could possibly do(certainly doesn't alter the shift throws or anything).

Anyway this looks like a button to turn the rev match on and off and possibly crisp up the electronic throttle response as well, hence the "sport" designation.

Yeah, sorry about that.  I just couldn't believe that they'd put "rev matching" on the 6MT.  I'm interested to see if it works well and if it's defeatable.  The base 370Z with sport package sounds perfect for me

It's better than having to use old Sega Genesis codes to defeat traction control like you have to in most modern Lexuses.

Indeed, Lexus also uses the Genesis-exclusive Mortal Kombat codes:

ABACABB, the blood code

and DownUpLeftLeftARightDown, the DULLARD code, used to access Reptile and the pit of despair after you get 20 flawless victories on the bridge.

Nissan has Polyphony Digital, Toyota has Sega. :rockon:

My guess is that since it is labeled as a "sport" mode that it will default to off when you start the vehicle like most other vehicles with similar sport options for suspension and engine/chassis controls.

I actually like the V shaped headlights here. They look horrible on the maxima.

Never heard of that, but there's lots i haven't heard of.

Still, I wonder: how would the computer know what I want to do? I mean, sometimes it could predict it perhaps: but it can't see a corner ahead or read my mind.

Bringing up an old discussion, I found out more about the system that was in a couple of our trucks.  I did remember correctly that it would match revs for you during a shift.  The system was from Meritor.  They call it ESS (Engine Synchro Shift).  It would basically let you perform perfect clutchless shifts every time, though it wasn't fully automatic.  There was a switch on the shifter that was used to indicate whether you intended to upshift or downshift.  To skip gears, you'd have to press the switch multiple times to indicate the number of gears you intend to skip.  The computer would do all of the rev matching.

This feature would essentially eliminate the need to heel-toe downshift.  I think I would love this feature if it had a switch for sure.  The only time I really downshift and need to rev match is going into a corner, when I'm braking too.  In which case, I heel toe, but a lot of the times I'm not wearing shoes too conducive to it (boots in the winter, or just heavier, dressier shoes).  This way, you can brake and down shift easily.

Cool idea for sure.
