Works all the same it just takes some getting used to. But since I'm assuming you are all guys you probably have bigger feet than I do, but my tiny feet are too short to do heel-toe with...at least in this car.
As far as autocross, I've never in my life had to downshift on an autocross course, but this is an essential skill if you ever go out and do a track day.

Interesting about the downshifting. I thought I read that GM specifically optimized pedal placement to allow for heel-toe downshifts. I haven't driven an SS-SC yet, but I drove the 2.4L and it was easy to heel-toe with. I have small feet too (I'm only 5'6"), so I may have to adapt a bit too.

The only solution I thought of is to buy the GM performance pedals (or any pedals that can be either replaced or installed over the existing pedal). What I was thinking is replace the gas and clutch pedals and install the gas pedal on top of the existing pedal, that way you raise the surface of the gas pedal slightly, that's the only thing I can think of that MIGHT work.
