Heel toe just fine on the x and I have small feet (size 9). Pedal placement is not as good as the VIII's and IX's but no problem one you get used to it.

And to the guy who asked why would you unless you are braking hard... muscle memory. Do it day in and day out on the street for every downshift and you won't have to even think about it when you are on the track, just becomes second nature. Plus, if done properly it should extend the life of your clutch.

 

Except it's largely a different animal under heavy brake pressure as opposed to the moderate braking done on the street.

It sounds like more ricer bullcrap to me.

 

I disagree completely. I heal toe under light braking, medium, and hard, whether on the track or street. IMO, heal toe downshifting when braking lightly is actually more difficult to do and be smooth because with such light pressure on the brake pedal it's takes a lot of precision to blip the throttle with your heal without mashing the brake pedal a little bit and making the car jerk. When I first learned years ago, I could heal toe under heavy braking no problem but had trouble under light braking.

Now, I can be applying any pressure on the brake, light or heavy, and heal toe perfectly every time. It's not ricer bullcrap to heal toe on the street; it's great practice that hones your skills and keeps them sharp. Plus, as dyno4mance said, it extends the life of your clutch by not dragging it while downshifting. Aside from all that, it's just plain fun.

 

Yeah.. I can't see any reason to do it on the street. Someone mentioned something about it saving your clutch... The best way to save your clutch/trans is to not use the trans to slow down the car. Nothing wrong with simply applying the brakes, and putting the trans into nuetral when coming to a stop. Brakes are "wearable" items that are cheap to replace. The clutch and trans aren't cheap at all.
Not to mention you look like a goon when you're playing Ricky Racer on the street, blipping the throttle while backshifting...
