Ok u are not listening, rev matching is only done when u are down shifting!!!! Unless u are really letting the rpms drop during shifting, or decide if you coasting at 40 out of gear and then u put it into second, you want to rev match. BUt again this is for daily driving only, not racing!!
If you are cruising at 40 mphs an hour and need to pass some on on a 2 lane road. U take it out of 5th rev the motor up to where your rpms need to be at 40 mphs in 3rd or 2nd gear. I beleive second need to be at 5,100 or so nad then you slide it into gear and release the clutch. This is where rev matching is needed. Not racing.
Seriously nobody told u this!! Not on these boards 
And if they are on these boards, why are u listening to them!!!! 
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Back to the quote I posted earlier........

Rev matching makes for quicker shifting, less damage/wear, and still keeps the throttle plate open. However it also takes a lot more skill to do it quickly.
and this driver supposedly has the one of the fastest 1/4 mile times in a contour. now back to my question, how will rev matching be quicker?
and I think I listen to DemonSVT's opinions, because he tends to be a lot more knowledgable than you. 
It's just too bad he's not chiming in and explaining how to utilize rev matching in a drag race, cause if it really is quicker, I'd love to know how.

well, seeing how demon is comparing it to powershifting...Powershifting is basically shifting without ever taking your foot off the gas. You'll smoke your clutch eventually, but it makes it easier than having actual driving skill i guess.
I'm not sure what the differences are between that and "rev matching" but obviously we are not talking rev matching in it's most common application.

*If* it's the quickest way to accelerate, and *if* you are competing to see who can accerate quickest in a drag race, then the sky must be purple.... 
The post that Demon was replying to when he wrote that was describing how powershifting works to supposedly achieve lower times in a Drag Race, but of-course I must be misunderstanding, you know because it would only be logical to respond to someone talking about drag race accelerating by talking about road race decelerating. My Mistake.

I didn't to begin with because Demon got the support of multiple others with how good rev-matching is over powershifting, so I was hoping to get a good dialog going that could aid everyone looking to lower their times, but now it seems that there is no such agreement, and the other thread had a bunch of smoke blowing.
