Hmm...what rpm range are you guys driving in?
I drive with the Rev Match on all the time, and I drive in the 3000 - 3500 rpm range and don't see much use for downshifting. I usually use my brakes to slow down when coming to a stop. If I'm in traffic, I just don't upshift and stay in a lower gear until I feel it's feasible. I'm not concerned about mpg...it is a V8. When I first got the car I had a problem with it due to being use to heel/toe, but now, I let the car do it since it does it much faster and timed better than I can. Enjoying the Rev Match!

People have this stupid idea that noise=speed lol. I came to a stop sign on a flooded street and kept the revs up because I didn't know if my exhaust tips were submerged. Up comes some idiot and honks at me as though I was going to blow the stop sign (despite the fact that my car was clearly at a full stop and had been before he arrived). My other favorite is some dude stepping out into the street to demand I slow down. Was doing 20 in a 30 mph neighborhood street with sport mode exhaust. I put it in neutral and revved up in his face, he's never tried that again...probably lost some hearing acuity there

Driving through the neighborhood where I lived then, barely doing 15 in a 30 mph residential zone, a woman came running out to the street yelling "SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN, THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE!" so I stopped and said I was only going 15, how slow should I be going in a 30 zone? Before she could answer, a Toyota Corolla whipped by us doing 40 easy, but quiet of course, so I just looked at her....she turned and walked away silently.... LOL!!!! Yes, the noise gives the illusion of going too fast even when you aren't. But I LOVE the noise!!!! |

I tried to use heel/toe downshifting in the SS 1LE, like I did in the C5 Z06 & C6 Z06 Corvettes I owned before this Camaro. When I switched to the rev match, I quickly realized there was no way I could do it better than the computers in the car so I said ‘F’ it, and now I just keep the auto rev match on whenever I drive the car. Why bother? I can now focus on other things while performance driving on track.

The car looked fast...I guess back then, and it was parked. On the other side of the street is an old man walking, looking at the Celica, then starts to yell...SLOW DOWN! I just loved that commercial!

Always on. It’s just too good. I have always driven manuals but never really trained myself to heel-toe ... which is way different than just blipping it. When i started doing track days there was a lot of other stuff to learn so I didn’t feel like learning heel-toe also. It’s a cool skill but unnecessary since all the cars I’m interested in (ZL1, CivicType R, GT3, GT4) do auto rev match .. love it.

Is there a way to have it ON by default?

Not in the current setup. And using the paddles to turn Rev Match on and off is idiotic. What’s next - flipping the wiper lever to start the car? Rev Match should be a separate switch or screen setting, with ON as the default (even though there are probably emissions and safety considerations that prevent that from happening).

Not in the screen, anything but that.
I wish the exhaust was on a mechanical button, not in the screen. To switch exhaust modes you have to push the screen like six times just to change the mode and get back where you were. I don't mind the paddle activation for Rev match, they could have used the other paddle for the exhaust.
