Why does it have paddle shifters on the wheel with a 7sp?
When you press down on the clutch, you are literally disconnecting the engine from the wheels. They are no longer "in sync". The engine speed will decrease once the clutch is depressed.If you then shift to a lower gear (downshift), the engine will need to speed up rapidly once the clutch is released and re-engaged. This rapid increase in engine speed can cause the car to "lurch". It is a jolt that you can feel it is stressful to the car. It also robs the wheels of power due to a shift in momentum. With Rev Match, as soon as you downshift, the throttle is "blipped". This is to bring the engine speed back up to an approximation of the wheel speed. The vehicles computer determines if/when this happens. By blipping the throttle, the engine speed will be closer to the wheel speed once the clutch is re-engaged (not depressed). This is a more favorable situation for you, and for the car. The computer can conceivably do it faster than a human and more accurately (old school heel-toe).....credit member MORDETH for this answer.

Interesting, thank you! Do all c7 7MT have this, or is it an option? I've never really paid attention, and never owned a C7.
