who fucking cares? some of us enjoy down-shifting simply because it's fun and we love the sounds our cars make when we do it. that being said i'm not an asshole and will keep it to a minimum if it's late at night or i'm in a subdivision or some shit.
if i stick my downshift just right (especially 3rd to 2nd), i get a shitload of pops and backfires that make me smile. plus i enjoy the motions of rev-match downshifting through the gears to a stop. it's fun. if you think it's "masturbation" or not necessary, you are entitled to your opinion, but i don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. if you're rifle-downshifting simply to impress other people, THEN you might want to give your head a shake.
as for people saying they "downshift" to 1st...what?! 1st is a starting gear only and you should never ever ever put your shifter into 1st if the car is still in motion (okay more than 5km/h anyways).
