Sometimes it's a thing of beauty... seamless downshift with perfect execution. Sometimes... not so much. My blip target is 4k rpm (needle straight up) which is usually very close to where I need it. I read somewhere that Porsche designed it that way so it would be easy to see in peripheral vision. I don't know if it's true but it works. Also I aim to get the shift done and clutch out in a straight line. Then if you botch it and unsettle the car it doesn't send you into the weeds. Practice practice...
