^ Very true.

It will just happen quicker if you have S mode on and putting in the clutch while in gear will just return the revs to redline if the rev-match is still working. (unless there is a saftey feature that deactivates this once in overrev).

On the other hand, it could save the day...

Lets say your on track, heavy on the brakes while downshifting to fourth, you suddenly hear engine cut-off (redline) due to the rev-match feature trying to match your engine speed to the road.

"Oh SNAP! I was about to downshift into second and blow my motor!" you say, as you immediately stop and go into fourth instead = Synchro-Rev Match (and rev-limiter) saves the day!

The problem is finding a track guy with a humble enough ego to get use to it.
