rev matching question, are you guys pretty spot on when downshifting, or are you going over abit?...

just checking to make sure that i am doing it right. usually i am pretty on as far as i can tell (no jerking) want to make sure there are no real dangers to the engine by passing the mark you are trying to hit. thanks as always

I have a LWFW so it's not like there's a lot of inertia involved if I over or undershoot.
I guess the only danger is over reving the engine with the drivetrain.

Did you get a short shifter for it yet?

Have you brought it to AMS yet?

Spot on is hard, over is fine as long as you are smooth.
