if I’m not threshold braking when I heel toe it just feels awkward. I guess I just have it ingrained in my head that if I’m reaching for the gas with my foot on the brake that I want to be braking as much as possible because if you’re not braking as much as possible at a track day then you got on the brakes too early. ---

I know how to, I’ve never really tried to though. I know how it is done, just never had a real need to use it street driving. I don’t think as many people who answered yes really do/need to use this. If I was on the road course I could see doing it, but no reason on the street. ---

I dont even know why i do it on the street, I just leared to drive like that and its just become habbit, even if im not threshold braking. I also cannot stand not being in a gear and the proper gear at that when coming out of corner, even on the street. Mind you this almost always motivates me to have a more aggressive driving style, lame I know, but its my small bit of entertianment on a day to day basis. ---

yeah dude, you should always be IN the correct gear before turning into a corner. It’s just good form, you need full control of your car when making a turn just incase you need to pull a fast maneuver for some unforseen reason. Heel-toeing the downshift is definitely as you approach the corner is good for your clutch and smooth for your passengers. ---

hmmm so when your driving aggersively its cool to not be doing it properly ??? Also the arguement of heel-toeing being overly un-smooth is fucking retarted if your doing it properly ---

I rev-match my downshifts, but I don’t heel toe, since I’m not threshold braking on the streetz. ---
