I find Heel toe hard . I havent been driving my SS long but the gas pedal is in front of the others and I have big feet so its kinda hard to do. Anybody else or do I just need to spend more time doing it?

X2 on the boats at the end of my legs

I use a variation, inside edge of the ball of my foot on the brake, little toe to blip the throttle.....don't even try it in stiff soled boots or shoes. Sneaks or barefoot, or thin leather soles works ok.

Going to try and mod the throttle pedal, put a little extension off the top left for blipping. Maybe I will then be able to do it the "right" way

Im heartened by how many seem to understand the importance of downshifting properly.

but every time i wander back into this thread...the poll numbers make me sick to my stomach.
It is truely scary that we have to share the road with so many dangerous uneducated drivers.

Big feet should make it easier actually. Just got to practice a bit. I'm starting to get the hang of it a bit. I'm even starting to master shifting without the clutch period.
