Surprising discovery...

So I took the car out today and put it in Sport Plus mode for the very first time. When I was approaching an intersection, I engaged the clutch and downshifted but before I could blip the throttle, the car blipped the throttle for me!!! WTF!!
I did it a few more times to make sure I wasn't imagining things and the car did the rev matching for me!
I thought this feature was only being installed in the C4S! Any one else with a 2013 manual experience this rev matching in sport plus mode?

I knew about this feature before we left for the delivery. My dealer was unaware of the rev matching feature and could not tell me if it was on my car.
At pickup in Stuttgart the Porsche delivery person could not tell me if it was on my car, he didn't know what it was either. Only by driving it could I verify that I do not have it. If you intend to track your car, having it on Sport Plus only is a great thing.
What is interesting here is the disconnect between the dealers and the factory. How many features has the "community" known about long before the dealers have any idea of what is happening? Not only that, but the dealers do not have anybody they can call to find out. It appears that the factory sales rep is virtually the only contact to Porsche. Unbelievable.

I wasn't going to get another Porsche with a stick because of the fact that I find the brake pedal position is too high for me to comfortably heel and toe. I can do it but not nearly as intuitive as doing it in say a Lotus Elise and Dodge Viper, but now with the car blipping the throttle for me, I may reconsider going w/ a manual 991GT3 (if manuals will be available in the 991GT3).

Hi, my 7 spd had a build date of 10/6 and I took delivery on 11/14 and it does have the rev-matching feature. Very pleased, and to think I was upset that my car was delayed 3 months for the glass sunroof!

All of the PDK cars will rev match the downshifts.
In this thread they are talking about the new feature that does it on the 7-speed manual. It was announced with the Carrera 4, but seems to be making it's way into C2 models right away.
