Oh crap, not this again. There was a rather bitter troll on here earlier this year that went around telling people that if you used the Rev-Match you weren't a "real" driver. GTFO with that elitist nonsense.

If you have the skill to heel-n-toe, then neat, congrats, but it doesn't gain you access to the secret champagne room of manhood. It took me years to fumble heel-n-toe poorly, a few more years of practicing everyday, looking like a boy-racer idiot. I'm now reasonably proficient enough where most of the time it would be difficult to discern if it's me or the rev-match doing it. The difference is the rev-match always gets it perfect, and I don't.

So yes, the rev-match makes heel-n-toe obsolete on a technical level, but it doesn't replicate the satisfaction of getting that perfect heel-n-toe downshift yourself. On the track when I'm looking to lay down hot laps, I let the rev-match do it perfect. On the street when I'm just looking to have fun, I heel-n-toe myself.

As for option #3, that's just a load of stinky poo.
