rev matching..

I can replace brakes in less than an hour for a few hundred dollars. The numbers are a tad higher for the clutch, and a major hassle. Downshifting has its place, but I rarely use it for daily driving. IMO

+1. Although there are times on the street where I'm glad I downshifted...because I need to hightail it away from yet another creative LA driver. But Brakes are definitely cheaper than clutches, transmission and engine wear...

Personally, for me. Using an auto rev match is kinda like bowling with the bumpers up. I bought a standard because I enjoy controlling the car.
That said, I'm sure it's pretty fun to play around with.

I personally like the idea. However i have not had a chance to test it myself. But it does make sense that it will increase the gas consumption. You are increasing the load on the engine even when you are down shifting [going from higher gear to lower,increasing the engine speed]. You can even try this on your 350Z. On your next fill-up, whenever you are slowing down put it on neutral and slow down. After you experiment this, try to rev-match on the next fill-up. You will see a significant difference.
