When braking at the end of a straight and preparing to turn into a corner, ideally you want to down shift to a lower gear so that you can accelerate out of the turn with more torque.What exactly IS rev matching? I never understood it...
The 02 CC does blip the throttle on downshifts - but only in Sport mode.I have driven a 2002 model and remember that it did not. Did that ever change during the model years?
