^ I SECOND and THIRD this sentiment.
I wonder if most of these people even know what "rev matching" is and what it's for and what it truly does.

jal3lee, I would strongly suggest you ignore this whole thread. I would say 75% of what has been posted here is complete and utter CRAP! You would do far better to contact a good driving school to find out what "rev matching (both UP and DOWNshifting), double clutching, heel/toe" really is. Did you also know that you can combine some or all of these? I'm not going to even start to tell you which 25% you should believe. I'm not feeling that charitable today.

It has been absolutely excrutiating reading the information provided in this thread.

I agree also. I FOURTH this sentiment. I was just reading in amazement and frustrating amusement at how much ignorance there is on this thread.

Agreed wholeheartedly. I'm 20, never been to a track school, yet still know more than these clowns trying to explain things. I heel-toe every day, rev matching is as natural to me as moving the shifter during a gear change...and none of these techniques are hard to master.

Like xviper said, pretty much ignore this thread. There is too much absolute BUNK to sort through at this point. Maybe look into some online resources or speak with a respected member who actually DOES track the car. He/She would definitely be knowledgeable on any proper shifting technique and hopefully the motivation behind why the technique is used.

When done right, heel-toe and rev matched shifts can become one of the most fun parts of your drive!
