This is How You Know If You Can Heel Toe

SRT Handz · Apr 25, 2007

Since i like to "Heel-Toe" Downshift i only drive in Vans Slip-ons.

I got these shoes for christamas last year, December 25th, 06'

Since Then i have driven only in these shoes. 2 Trackdays, 1 Autocross Event and Many, Many So. Cal. Canyons runs.

...and because i "Heel-Toe" rev-match so much, i have cause my right shoe to seperate right where my Heel hits the gas.

I have these: http://www.piloti.com/products/product_details.aspx?cat_id=0&prod_id=706&prod_sku=PR14-3, and they feel great. Very comfy, and just sensitive enough.

yeah, so hard that the brake wore out your sole. Sounds like the people who always brake for no reason in front of me If your rev matching in a canyon then why you downshifting if you dont wanna slow down? The tranny worx fine slowing you down ya know, or is this to keep you in the powerband for the post-apex? Only reason i ask is cuz people who rev match for no reason crack me up

bdcardinal · Apr 25, 2007

its to allow for optimum powerband on the exit of the apex. also doing a proper heel-toe downshift lessens the urge of the car to want to snap around when you would downshift regularly because you are applying brake pressure too.

i agree, im just asking. In cars i'v driven, i notice more control slowing the car down through a corner via the tranny if the situation is right instead of riding the brakes hard, cuz this allows you to bring the revs up to the powerband at the apex anyways

bdcardinal · Apr 25, 2007

true and there are situations where you dont downshift. like when im at buttonwillow, im in the same gear most of hte way around. also on some corners where you have elevation changes, doign a quick heel-toe will change the balance just right.
