I tried it today in my 991.2 S.

SPORT + mode, PSM OFF....still got the rev matching blip on the downshift.

Hey my first sports car was also a Triumph TR4A IRS!
Got me hooked on MT ever since.
Chose not to have sport chrono (which I had but rarely used in other 91l's since '06.) Didn't want the rev matching although it is admittedly cool in a Panamera when "manually shifting" the pdk.
Feels more like a sports car in a 911 when you do it all yourself.

I've never heard of th erev match on up shifts. Would help on 1-2 but the rest is butter IMO. Interesting

Me, too. And eager participants in recent discussions about nicieties like rev-matching would likely faint when trying to shift a 914, especially early model tail shifters and all 10 feet of rods, levers, pivots, etc.
