People should also notice that the “Rising Sun Flag” that LB has on their logo is also an equivalent symbol analogous to the Swastika. I guess people at LB want their ‘Glory days’ back.

Rev-matching the engine rpm and rev matching the input shaft are different things. You have a greater chance of wearing out your synchros if you skip-shift, whether you blip your throttle or not. S2000s are notorious for not allowing skip-shifts.

Not sure how other transmissions are designed, but in a S2000, if you skip-shift regularly, you are going to destroy your syncros eventually. This has nothing to do with rev-matching. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-under-hood-22/someone-explain-why-skip-shifting-bad-1026367/
