How come My Z doesn't have the button to make it shift smoother?

Because I have SRM

and at this one particular turn, there is nowhere to slow down unless you brake in the highway lane (risking a rear end by some idiot not paying attention) or since the road veers off the highway before making about 120 degree turn you have a little bit of room to brake hard before throwing it around the corner. I've done it a handful of times and had a blast every time - closest I can come to pushing this car on public roads.

oh ya... ibtl

Like if I were driving 3rd Gear switch to 2nd, It suppose to make it smooth.

The button suppose to located next to yield signal but mine is blank.

does it comes only sports package?? mine is 2011 btw

just rev match the old fashioned way. hit the brake with your right foot and use the side of your right foot to blip the throttle, then engage. you will need to practice but if you can't do this, dont even bother buying a MT car.

Serious inquiry though.. do you guys actually keep your synchrorev on? I've had mine turned off most of the time since I got my car. It's cool and all but kinda bugs me whenever I clutch in for neutral to stop for any lights/stop signs it revs. Feels almost like I'm abusing the box when I'm stuck in stop-and-go traffic.

The odd time I actually decide to take some corners Paul Walker style I just heel-toe myself (I'm professional like that).

There's a thread somewhere in this forum talking about your inquiry, look it up.

I don't have SRM in my car cos I didn't take the Sports-Package.

I am more old-school, if I want rev-match, I heel-toe, it is the art of driving MT.
