Does anyone heel and toe when they daily drive?

[Scaroline]

Been trying to learn how to heel and toe in the CT4 BW and from what I can tell the throttle pedal is too low to blip unless you're braking very hard (mostly done on a track or emergency situations). Am I doing something wrong here or is that just how the pedals are placed in this car? Has anyone adjusted their pedal positions to suit them better? If so please let me know how to do that.

Had this issue on my 5BW. Solved it with the SRP pedal.

5BW 6sp - heel and toe issues

Hey guys - got my 5BW 6sp last week and love it. But what's up with the throttle pedal placement? I've been heel and toe-ing for 20+ years on a ton of different cars and have never experienced one that is so tricky to even graze the gas pedal when downshifting . I think it's a combination of...

I heel/toe in my Miata in daily driving but not the 4 BW for the same reason you described with the pedal placement. Since it has rev match I just use that when I want.

I H&T all the time because it is a skill that you need to practice so that it becomes muscle memory. And it saves wear on the clutch.

And it sounds cool.

The worst car for that I ever had was a Triumph TR-6. Horrible pedal placement, huge gap between brake and accelerator. I don't seem to have any trouble with the BW, although I do have the brakes set to "comfort" or whatever the lightest setting is, so maybe that helps.

I'm adapting my H&T for my 4bw. I take it as good practice to do it all the time. I'm personally having a hard time adapting my technique but it's coming along.

I have my brakes set to comfort. I have wide feet no issues HT. I use the Rev match when I'm in traffic or want to change things up.

I've HT in all my previous cars but with the rev match in this and how good it is. I just let the system do it. It nails it perfectly every time and the car sounds amazing when it does it so I'll just let it do it's thang.

Hell toed in previous cars. Rev Match is a cheat code. Use it.

I HT all the time and have no issue doing it.

Update: Pull off the brake pedal cover and slap on some high grit grip tape. Works like a charm because the brake pedal cover is thick.

Anyone think the car helps you cheat a bit on a heel/toe shift? If I give the throttle a good quick whack the engine seems to go to the exact rpm needed to go down a gear. I’m still practicing heel/toe and once in a while it just seems too good to be true.

I only heel/toe when I tap dance!

Nope. Just use the auto rev match.
