Default Sharing a DE car with an Auto Blipper ?

I share a car with my wife during our DE weekends. I enjoy the challenge of manually rev matching. My wife's instructed suggested we look at a Auto Blip to help her with smoother shifting. This presents me with a few questions for you guy to answer;
1 Do I have to alter the settings based on our different driving styles?
2 Is it easy to turn off if I end up preferring to heal toe?
3 Will my fiends make fun of me for installing this cheat?
4 Should I buy a new car soon so my wife and I can't easily compare lap times. She may be faster then me soon and that could be demoralizing!!
5 I am considering starting a go fund me for an internet troll how damaged his wing and has stock exhaust on his race car? Thoughts on the likely hood of him gaining any funding?

Thank you in advance for your feedback and comments.

I instructed in a Mustang that had an aftermarket autoblipper in it and it wouldn't work unless all traction control settings were OFF.

We, ummm..., made do without the auto blipper that weekend. But you might want to research whether that is true for whatever car and device you are considering and ponder whether it matters.

I've been tracking for 50 + years. Mastered heel/toe forever. My GT4 came with the auto-blip and I love it. Don't look back.

I have the Autoblipper in my 997 track car. There is an "on/off" button so it is easy to turn off when not in use/needed. I love it! Works great and has several useful adjustments.

1) Dunno.
2) Yes.
3) Yes. But we will anyway.
4) She will be. She already listens better and doesn't make the same mistake twice - much less 14 times.
5) One troll here: You. My exhaust doesn't make ears bleed. Yours does. All show - no go. More reflective of the driver though. lol

Dear Blue Chip,
Is your name a prophetic vision of the blue tire stripe on your rear quarter?
