Sure, the computer will always calculate the correct RPMS based on input. Still, as I pile on the miles and get more used to this car's driving dynamics, I find myself doing it manually more and more. It's just more fun. And I don't know if it's just me, but I get better engine braking with Active Rev Matching off.
Yes it smooths everything out, both up and down (yes it does it on the upshifts too from what I read and tested myself - could be mistaken though). And yes, downshifts are buttery smooth, addictingly so, but actual engine braking, while it's there and can be felt, is less than when ARM is off. Does anyone else notice this?
