When the subtitles are on, it says "music" during the engine noise. How accurate.

I just learned how to do this properly the other week. 30 years old and still learning. Cars don't seem to get old.

Now I understand why people rev their car/motorcycle a bit when they almost reach a traffic light. All this time I thought they were trying to show off or something

Me:
-Requires some practice to do but with which car?
Dad:
-Not with my car.

Learning the technique is easy, but making sure you blip the throttle by the correct amount is hard!!! Sometimes I over-rev or under-rev the engine when I rev-match, so I still feel a bit of jolt in return. I'm only able to hit the correct RPM and get that seamless downshift a handful of times. 5th gear to 4th and 4th to 3rd is easy, but getting that perfect downshift from 3rd to 2nd takes a bit of practice in my opinion.

i watched alot of downshift videos and they weren’t as helpful as this one, thanks for the time and effort editing this video together and uploading it, really helps man!!

Rev matching is good for fuel economy, smoothness, not locking up the wheels sending you into a guardrail or oncoming traffic. It's also cool. You get to rev the engine with purpose which sounds cool.

[KoopaXross]

You gotta take into consideration throttle response varies from car to car. Your average economy chevvy hatchback isn't gonna have the fastest throttle response or ability to rev quickly, so you might have to go from just blipping the gas to holding it down for a bit before disengaging the clutch.

Thank you so much for posting this video! I've asked three people to teach me and none of their explanations were as crystal clear as yours. Really appreciate the video, and the M3 sounds great!

A bit of a car showing off (but who could blame you), but also the best and most simple video to understand in the sea of 10 minute long, yadda-yadda, no footwork / shifter cameras rev matching guides. 👌

[SpencerBerke]

Just a correction, sorry if this was confusing at 2:10 I said "5th gear from 4th". I mean't to say 5th to 4th gear. DON'T REV MATCH going up a gear! lol, this wouldn't work that well. Only rev match on downshifts. Please thumbs up the video if this helped you! I'll be doing tutorials as often as I can. Snapchat me what you want a tutorial of next! SnapchatFam Checking in!!

Thanks for the video. This is the first technique to learn before going into heel-toe downshift as the latter is simply adding braking over it. But for many, like I did, I started with rev-match alone to simply master the downshift without braking at the same time.
Nice camera angles, well places, props to the several replay and repetition to see it done clearly.

This actually helped out a lot I’m about to buy a 96 eclipse gs turbo and everyone is saying “rev match when you down shift” didn’t know what it was now I do and it’s so simple thanks man

[damongettis]

Anybody else just watch this for amazing m3 v8 sounds? 😁😁

[bmxer]

I absolutely love the sound of that exhaust!

[michaelweingrad]

Just came across this video again... I watched this a little after I got my Honda Accord about a year ago and this video helped me so much when I was first learning to rev match... thank you Spencer!!!

Rev match is easy. Heel and toe while braking hard before turning in to a corner at maximum speed is another thing. Especially without abs. ;)

[eldritchdrummer]

This is really difficult to master but it's awesome. I still mess it up sometimes but it really helps during overtaking maneuvers or when going up a steep slope.

[joshawasancio]

Finally a video that properly shows and demonstrates how to rev match, thank you!

So I disengaged the clutch, mashed the throttle, down shifted from 4 to 1st dumped the clutch and now I’m trying to explain to my insurance how I managed to drive into the side of culvert on a dry straight road in the middle of the day, might take some practice ....
