Yes it does. You can turn the feature off and on. Quite wicked in my book.

Im confused, whats the benefits of this feature? Im kinda slow, someone break it down for me....


Edit:

I did some research...

You feel even smarter if you use the SynchroRev Match option (part of the Sport package) for the manual transmission, a system of electronic switches that automatically blips the throttle for you during downshifts. It does its job so perfectly that it translates both into painless crawling in commute traffic at low speeds and improved chassis equilibrium and faster entry speed into corners at high speeds.

I like this car, I'm thinking of buying one of these 370z's when they are out (I just hope they won't be expensive in my country).
It will be a hard decision for me between the 370 or the New camaro or a Used 2005 C6 Vette.

yea it pretty much eliminates the need to double clutch when you downshift (clutch in-neutral-clutch out-blip throttle-clutch in-downshift if you didnt know)

You didn't seriously just tell say a "need to double clutch" did you? :

I like the car, hate the way the headlights and taillights look. I'll go look at them one day

Sorry, call me old fashion but I don't care for it. What the hell is the point of owning a manual car if the computer is doing the work. The entire reason I buy an m6 car is so that I am in control, not the computer. Like the second video posted up stated, "it allows you to concentrate on the wheel and road ahead more." GET AN AUTO THEN, if your too dumb to shift properly and watch the road at the same time LOL! Sorry not only do I think the car looks worse than ever (Road & Track mag pics are gawd awful, check it out), it also takes away the entire purpose of owning a manual car. They make cars already that have crisp perfect shifts, they're called automatic transmissions. Not my taste, whatever, my 2 cents.

I agree with you on this one where is the joy of driving when the car does it for you? I like the car but IDK it's not for me
