the l33test of the l33t driving techniques.

who does it?

who doesn't?

need to learn?

these guides may help, and Gary Sheehan demontrates a good double clutch heel toe (right click save as).



ps. search revealed no previous thread devoted to heel toe.

I have used it in the past, but most of the time, driving in traffic, I find that it just startles other people or makes them think I want to race...

And that is why I don't drive in sandals, for fear of something like that happening. I hate driving in boots too. No pedal feel at all.

flip flops don't make for the best driving shoes. i use my fake champion driving shoes from payless for 20 bucks .



heel toe isn't just fun, its good for your tranny.

Yes, I double declutch because my car benifits from it. Otherwise it jerks a bit on the down changes. I've got a pair of Puma Futurecats which make fantastic driving shoes. ;)

I dunno how to heel toe.
*Giant akward moment*

And I drive in my skater shoes, or my greezy nasty work shoes that slip off the pedal before it touches the pedal (great for driving a clutch *sarcasm*)

guys big feet should make it easier in theory

wider foot = easier to stab gas with the side...

Getting Bolt-on pedals can help too. I got some for my car. Don't hate me cuz I drive auto - I hate dealing with traffic! I don't need to heel/toe but here's an example.

The brake pedal's shifted over to the left about an inch - i didn't like the feel of my shoe barely fitting inbetween the brake pedal and the sidewall - that's how much larger these are.

Also, I would rather drive barefoot than in flip flops.

I use it in some situations, but when I do most people give me wierd look, and I almost got pulled over for hitting the gas a little to hard when I down shifted.

i use heel-toe a lot, but lemme tell you, in an old Mini with no gas pedal mod, its interesting...

size 14 shoes plus that tiny pedal means you cant miss the pedal, but its still kinda wierd
Its simpler than in teh Supra, but more effective and more fun

Wow, that is tiny!! I would hate to drive that, you would have to drive barefoot just to feel the pedal.

thats like the pedals in my spity to, it makes the brake/gas thing interesting if you have fat feet like me.

I just got a new pair of LL Bean's, no pedal feel but I'm used to it since I never wear sneakers.
