Here's Ayrton Senna doing it while driving the NSX, not teaching but still a master at it.

"The benefits of the rev-matching/heel-toe technique is to lessen the impact of the gears coming together, less of the clutch plate getting beat up, less of the brake pads and rotors (if heel-toe) from getting "chunked or hot spotted", and your syncros will last longer because they will do less of the work to rev-match for you. These techniques will keep the tranny and the rest of the drivetrain happy and live a longer life."

Wow that was a read. A good one at that. Looks like I'm going to have to print this out and give it a try.:sad:

The latest issue of Automobile magazine stated the spoiler is Z51-specific... covering over the CHMSL. Hmmm, so perhaps the base models will not have the spoiler which contradicts Ed Wellburn's statement during the Jay Leno interview. We shall see what GM finally decides on! :decision:

This may have been posted; but to me the coolest tech gadget on the C7 is the retractable MyLink screen that has a storage compartment behind it.
