I was wondering how many of you manual guys rev match when you down shift and heel toe shift?

 

always.

 

i dont heel toe but i rev match every single time i downshift

 

every time I downshift.

 

i don't see why people wouldn't rev match when they downshift, unless they like getting out and puking

 

You would be surprised wtf people do when they drive stick...makes me sometimes

 

ok i dont wanna sound stupid or anything....but could somebody explain what thos mean?

 

oh yeah! no heel toe though

 

Rev matching is when you go to down shift and match the revs with a precise little jab of the throttle in between the actual changing of the gears so you don't get that annoying lurch/drag.


Heel-toe is basically the same thing only you are on the brakes at the same time.

 

Oh haha I just put the car in Neutral and use my brakes. Im a noob though.

 

Yea, I do it every once & a while... Maybe half of the time.

 

I have a couple of spots, like some sweeping off-ramps and stuff where I get nice heel-toe practice, hard braking and going from 4th to 3rd to 2nd to make the corner. Feels really nice when done correctly, impresses people that actually understand what you are doing.

 

ohhh ok thanks.

 

GUILTY! Yes I rev match ...no heal toe though...ive tried but i seem to have some sort of handicap against it

 

Yeah, it is a nice feeling and if someone is in the car they are like



ZOMG


YOU CAN PRESS ALL THREE PEDALS AT ONCE?!?!?!?!?UNO!?!

It has a learning curve in these cars...I was used to a 2nd gen DSM which was easier to heel-toe...these things have uber progressive brakes for a reason that is for damn sure...just takes awhile to figure out how to keep the brakes on smooth while gettin the rev you need

 

do rev match most of the time...but no need to heel toe

 

x2

 

i always rev match but i never use the heel toe method with having my right foot on the brake while using the right foot to raise the revs at the same time... i'm not that good yet, plus i'm usually wearing my steel toe klunky work boots.

 

gotta rev match...
i just feel stupid if i don't...heel toe in certain situations..otherwise i just coast it

 

I do both. It's just one of those things you learn while driving clutch that you do without even noticing.

 

This is quite informative on the topic.

rev matching saves the clutch and tranny

 

work boots here too, if im just cruising theres really no need to rev match cause im always under 2500rpm. but if im gettin it then yea heel toe.

 

rev match everytime and heel toe as much as possible. Still getting used to it. I feel like an idiot though every time I mis match the rev or hit the brake harder as I rev.

 

just from logic, tell me if I'm right:

heel-toe is when you're downshifting to slow down (stop, take a corner)

and rev-matching is when you drop a gear to get more grunt?

right?

cause I don't see how you could rev-match on a downshift to slow down without heel-toeing!
