Nissan 370Z threatens the art of heel toeing

Those of us that have spent hours trying to perfect the art of heel and toeing will be frustrated to hear that the new Nissan 370Z, a car that supposedly celebrates the basic joys of driving, can now do it for you with its new SyncroRev Match system.
Heel and toeing is the practice of both pressing the brake pedal and blipping the throttle pedal to match revs diving heavy braking with your right foot. It stops the rear wheels from locking when you release the clutch and makes you look and sound like a bit of a legend too.
But it’s only really needed when you’re near the limit and if you’re going to push a powerful rear-wheel drive sports car as quickly as it’ll go you should really have the basics of fast driving under your belt.
I’m sure the SyncroRev Match is very clever and probably works quite well but the same could be said for a piano that plays itself – it might be note perfect but where’s the fun in that?
