Automatic paddle shift rev match kit?

Question

Does anyone make these? Some high performance cars with automatic trannies will blip the throttle and match revs on an automatic transmission downshift. Seems like it also might wait a little during upshifts for a synchronous shifts. Are there any aftermarket kits that can do this? It would be on a ZF 6 speed automatic with shiftronic. The car has paddle shifters and the throttle body is no doubt electronically actuated, so this makes me think the infrastructure is there. Has anyone done something like this?

If the car has a shiftronic tranny you already have a PCM that protects the motor from being over revved and damaged. Try down shifting above 4500 rpm and see what happens.

Anything's possible for the right amount of money if it has been invented, already. Brakes are better than downshifting. More control over the car and no extreme stress on the drive train. Would likely need to add a tranny cooler or two to maintain proper fluid temperature inside the tranny.
