Good video, gives a shot of the feet and you can watch a master in action doing heel-toe.

Thats a good video. Thanks for posting that. That shows exactly what I described. That's exactly how I do it. You don't see him contorting his leg and foot all crazy. It's very smooth and relaxed, and requires little movement, unlike BSP's video.

BTW - I eat s2000's for lunch.

Just because you made a how-to video sitting in your car doesn't mean you are a "master" at the technique. Anyone could do that. I also never said you weren't a "master", but from watching your video it is doubtful. No offense, but you asked.

BTW, how old are you? I'll be willing to bet I've been heel-toeing longer than you've been legally driving.

The s2000 is one of my favorite imports. I know the pedals are designed appropriately. Anything less would be like putting a one legged man in an *** kicking contest. It's a moot point. The only reason I stated what I did about the Z's pedals was to reassure the people trying to learn this technique that the pedals are absolutely fine the way they are.

lol ok man... I thought for a second there you were seriously trying to claim that you were. You've obviously got the right idea though.

Kudos for making the video and getting people interested.

Senna= God. 'Nough said.

I have his driving shoes...**** cost me waaaay to much money, so they stay on display. But for a good driving shoe, or loafer, does anyone have any suggestions?

He's referring to last night; an S2000 was at the meet and we looked at the pedal sizes. I see no problem with the Z's pedals, I HT fine with them. But the S2000 is a great setup. For a taller man though...I don't know.

a proper heel-toe involves both the heel and the toe
do asian shoes allow you to drive better? or why do you wear asian shoes
