I should point out that in my car, because of the pedal position and my size 12.5's, I can't actually hit the gas with my heel, but I keep the left side of my foot on the brake and I hit the gas with the right side. Same effect, just not using the heel and toe

Learning at the moment on a Skyline. A little tricky to say the least. Why I didn't think of this method when I lived in Canada, I have no idea

Yeah , I over rev also. Stiff manual disc brakes . You gotta push fairly hard on the brakes , it screws up my throttle control..77.

I do it all the time allthough I do it the more easy way just by rocking my foot to the right as I cover both pedals.

Camel-toe is better than Heel-Toe

For me it very easy, in my atomatic shitbox, as you brake, just select lower gear (like 3, or 2 in some cars) and will downshit by itself, and just applyu gas right away.

You can heel-toe on pretty much any car: spongy pedal, super stiff brakes that have almost no complience, far pedals, close pedals, just a different technique. Practice doing it everytime you gear down for a week and if you haven't got it down.. well god help you
