They don't get the 19" wheels in Australia. If you notice, the car does have the big brakes and he is using the "Synchro rev Match." So yes, it has the sport package.

That's right ... and not sure if you can option them. In Australia we have only 1 model, and that comes with manual or auto.

Well if you speed up shifts, then you speed up time to put power down thus speeding up your drive.
Maybe I'm missing something, but why would it speed up shifts? Shifts will happen as quickly as the driver makes them ... synchrev or not.

I'm pretty sure no matter how good you are at heel-toe, you're not going to get a perfect downshift every time. With the sync-rev on, you can get a perfect downshift so you don't get any engine braking which means faster lap times. I suspect that it would be a tad faster w/ the system on.

hmmm, I would think that (in particular on the track), you would only down-change when you're braking anyway. So even if you do get the odd engine braking, it should not impact your time as you're slowing down at that stage anyway ... actually the engine braking might help with the braking (if anything).
