it is funny, but how many times have you downshifted in SS and the car lunges when it downshifts. Some times if I need to slow down, I down shift like that since I don't want to brake alot with our puny warped stock rotors. But in all honesty, some people do that, even if it's not rev matching.

in my 99 i downshift from 2nd to 1st and tap the gas when downshifting and the car doesnt tug, it goes right into 1st and slows down. Where as if i downshift from 2nd to 1st without doing that, the car tugs very hard.

What they should do is make him drive at 40mph, have someone with a video camera. Make him go between 1st and second gear seamlessly, back and forth. Without losing/gaining much speed.
I guarantee you'll see the camera man boucing back and forth.

From what that one guy is saying the car is essentially doing a neutral drop inbetween each shift. If that was the case, if you had the car floored and you shifted early at 4k rpms. The engine would rev up all the way between shifts.

Kind of a silly argument. You can't "rev match" an automatic but you can give it a little gas to make the downshift smoother. Technically not rev matching but it's the closest term to describe it.
