theres really no need to turn off heel toe shifting when you are slowing down... if done correctly it can help prolong clutch life and keeps the car balanced
I just learned to heel-toe and left foot brake just in case I ever get to drive on a road course track, however small that liklihood might be, so maybe I can be faster and/or safer.
I'd break my nose. I've been pushing the clutch in with my left foot all of my life. It was never done mildly. My left foot only knows how to go down hard and come back easy.
I guess I also want to be a little confused. I double-clutched for a while when I got my WRX, then, I went to rev matching. I couldn't get myself to do both; I just took too darned long to shift. But, now the reason I'm confused - I both double clutch and rev match using a heel toe technique. Yes, when I first got my car, I'd double clutch while braking. The tranny was a little stiff. Anyway, I think the the WRX is awesome for heel-toe for any purpose. The pedals are separated just right, and their depths are adjusted right, too. I did a track day once with an instructor who said she couldn't do heel-toe in her Audi unless she was at the track, because she never pressed the brake down far enough unless she was trying to brake hard. As someone else mentioned earlier, heel-toe can be foot-width instead. My foot isn't large, but I can have the left of the ball of my foot on the brake and the outside of the foot above the heel on the gas when I give it a blip. I love it when I get it just so. One day, retail sports cars will do it all for me, and I'll feel like I'm missing out. DD
heres a video showing some fancy footwork http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j-3xIZK-Bk&mode=related&search=
stayed up late last night to watch bullit. gotta love the sounds those mustangs make and also appreciate steve mcqueen's double clutching
Damn you for making me miss my mustang. Haha that is one sexy car. Definitely the direction I was hoping to take mine one day.
