Who blips their throttle when they are downshifting?

I think driving this car without at least rev-matching your downshifts would be very annoying.

For those who don't know about the "heel and toe" method, most of the BestMotoring videos use a picture in a picture. And the smaller picture shows their foot work. So you can watch the driver approach a turn and at what point he down shifts.

Me, Myself and I like to heel toe all the time. Its sounds nice when downshifting and also saves you some money on the long run. Synchros anyone???
