i've had 2 moments where

1. some dude in 300ZX (Z32?) was driving on the freeway and starts flashing his lights and beeping his horn at me - and puts his thumbs up as he drove past

2. another dude in a black 350Z (Z33) drove past and gave me the thumbs up.

i love racing at the lights, but one thing i noticed is you have to launch the Z smoothly (under 3000rpms) or you will have tyre squeal and people will think you are a dickhead.

i've accidently squealed the tyres a few times already...

some guy sat in his porsche/ferrari/gtr etc at lights, Z comes up along the side revving loud.
porsche/ferrari/gtr owner looks across and thinks OK, and revs back.

but Guy in Z wasnt even revving for attention, he had forgot to switch off rev match lol.

Now hes sat there feeling as though hes thrown the first punch.

Anyone owners experiencing attention problems from rev match?
Nope, don't use it.

No, I find it mildly irritating. I'm use to driving MT without it so I just never turn it on. It's a cool feature, but it does very little if your shifting correctly under normal driving conditions.
