Are you using auto rev match on your S650?

Yes and it's one of the main reasons I chose to buy this car

Just curious if people are using auto rev match on their cars? My DH came with the setting on and I quickly turned it off and I haven't turned it back on again. I am average at best at doing it myself. Is this a feature people are using around town or only during sport drives or track driving?

Yes. It works pretty well. It took awhile for me to get used to it. I don't track or drag - just spirited driving.

First thing I shut off!

Put the AT's in track mode, you get Rev-Matching. Totally useless on city streets/highways, but very necessary on the track. Did heel-toe shifting for years road racing, got tired of it, not the easiest thing to do and when you miss a shift, not fun. Upgraded to the Auto-Blip in 2015 and never looked back.

If you like the feeling of engine brake, it might be better to turn it off.

On the other hand, if you want to enjoy a more responsive and smoother downshift, leave it on.

Agree. I tend to downshift for engine braking a lot. It's just something I got into the habit of doing early on when I learned to drive stick. Auto rev match sort of prevents that from operating properly. If I was tracking it I would turn it back on for sure.

Kind of wish I had it on my older 2016 but not really sure I would use it that much in day to day life.

The only time I know I would enjoy using that feature is after the gym on my way home.
Damn leg days knock me out and sometimes I even contemplate the convenience of an automatic! Gasp!

Don't worry, I'd never actually go auto. I enjoy playing with my stick too much.

Rev matching is much more refined on the s650 on the 21 s550 gt getting on the freeway the Rev match would hang on me. I am pretty good at manually Rev matching but if you want precise vehicle dynamics when "spirited" driving it keeps the car in control at all times...especially right before turns. In quicker and out quicker

I'm in the shutoff column. I have been shifting gears for many years.
Turned it off before I left the lot.

Rev-match is One feature I do miss on my Challenger as it makes shifting down while braking so easy !

 

[Fender5803]

Yes and no. I put it on the favorite button to make it easy to enable or disable.

Broke my right ankle 10 years ago and now it won’t rotate to heel/toe so I love the rev match feature.
