Yes. Rematch happens when someone loses and they want another try at winning.
Sorry. I couldn't resist.
I'm not sure how it sounded like I was confused. Throttle blipping on downshifts to rev the engine up while going into the lower gear is your typical rev match. Quickshifters on bikes cut ignition on the engine as you shift up, unloading the transmission, and also allowing the compression of the engine to slow it's revs during the upshift. Even if it is for a split second, it still matches the revs better than if the ignition wasn't cut, and the engine revved up between shifts like normal.
I'm not sure the ignition is cut during upshifts on the A10. It could be traction control that I was hearing in the videos and possibly my car as well. Like I said, I only noticed the sound in the lower gears. Like the first 2 shifts or so.
Just driving easy, it doesn't seem to cut ignition. The smoothness just seems to come from the gears being so closely spaced that the RPM doesn't change much between gears. I also noticed something under our cars that likely makes the shifts feel smoother, because it's definitely not because our tranny shifts slower than the Hellcat. Even cruising, the shift is really fast. There is a rubber "shock absorber" between the drive shaft and the rear diff.
I'll report back on more spirited driving next time I do it. Of course I still can't open it up, so if it was traction control cutting ignition, I may not be able to duplicate it, since the temp is getting warmer now and the tires will grip better.
