rev matching question
ok, a newbie question for all you shifting pros out there. let's say you are downshifting from 4th to 3rd and intend to rev match. you press in the clutch to begin the downshift. do you blip the throttle (i) before you begin moving the shifter out of 4th and into 3rd, or (ii) blip when the shifter is in neutral in between 4th and 3rd, or (iii) blip after the the shifter is in 3rd but before you let the clutch out? or does it matter, as long as the shift process happens quickly and the revs match when you let out the clutch? thanks!

I usually push the clutch in, blip the throttle and then engage into the lower gear. when I do it in one motion it usually works the best. It makes more sense to blip when the tranny is in neutral.

How close to the right RPM do you guys get off of your blip? Within 500 or something? I have little experience driving manny trannies so i don't know how easy it is to get real close.

and when you get an exhaust upgrade, the blip becomes part of the sound system!!
i find that i blip and rev match more for the sound than anything else- the added bene is that my brake pads are like new with almost 20k miles on them...
