Will FT-86 have Synchro Rev Match?

[lynk26]

I see nothing wrong with having a system like in the 370z. To me, it's sort of like cruise control. It's a convenience feature. As long as you can turn it off like in the 370z, I'm all for it.

So it has switch button in the Z? I didn't know about that.

Yes, you can turn off the feature in the 370z and do it manually if you want.

That would be nice. If people can do what they prefer, this feature will be useful for some.

really? you think you can get synchro rev matching in a car for less than 30g's? really?

There is no such a thing as impossible.

i haven't researched much about the throttle cut, but i would imagine there's some leeway built into the system on manual-transmission cars. like if you try to hold the throttle and brakes for more than 1 second, THEN it cuts throttle or something?

Its not like rev-matching is such an impossible feat for the common person that they NEED a system like this. Just takes practice.

exactly. also, how much of the general public even cares about rev-matching??? any time someone who knows nothing about cars rides in the car with me, they always ask "what are you doing? and why?"

The sport package on the 370z costs $3,000 more than the base model. The sport package includes the SynchroRev Match feature. But it also upgrades several other items too, like bigger wheels, sport brakes, LSD, etc. So the SynchroRev Match feature isn't that much $$$ in the whole package, probably not enough to seriously warrant disregard.

it's not going to be a huge amount of money, but there are several extra switches and extra programming involved. there's the on/off switch and also switches to determine gearshift position and movement.

one thing that the 370Z does: if you are still moving and shift to neutral and rock the shifter back and forth (just once to ensure you didn't have a hand spasm and select a different gear), it will PEG the tach because it thinks you're going to go into 1st/2nd. that would become extremely annoying.

and before you assume, yes, i only do that when shifting into neutral in regular driving. never on track.

To me synchro rev match is a cool convenience feature for when you're rolling along in freeway traffic. It makes that kind of driving more relaxed and smoother. Its main goal is not to rev match for you on the track, but to provide convenience, so it does not belong in a $25k stripper, back-to-the-basics, sports car.

That's true, that would be annoying. But that's why there's the off button. Problem solved:happy0180:.

True, but some people would want and like the option. Don't like it, don't want it, don't get the option. Win-win-win situation :happy0180:.

Except that it being on the car causes the price to go up.
Also, the "off" switch would likely need to be turned off every time you start the car. I've had a car with stability control where the default state was on. It's very annoying.

This car should not have that electronic crap.
