How to proper heel-toe in a 350Z (Video)
OK...
Just to visually express how to proper perform a heel-toe in the 350Z...
Video script
First lift off throttle
Hard on the brakes
Clutch in
Roll your ankle
Blip the throttle with your heel
Shift into gear
Clutch out

File size - 6 megabytes in quick time movie format
Side note: I am asian so i dont wear american sized shoes such as 14EEE and I wore socks so the process can be clearly captured on video.

i mean thats the way i do it...
alot of people use the foot-roll method
but then i call it foot-roll down shift instead of heel-toe
...
a proper heel-toe involves both the heel and the toe

I'm size 5.5" and its hard for me. I can't ever seem to get my heel to reach the gas pedal.
Couldn't see the video since my new computer is not set up for videos yet but thanks for sharing.

i think you can try to bend the gas pedal towards the brakes a little bit?
or use pedal extenders?

I'm sorry but why are we doing this? Is this to perform a burnout without a line-lock or for what?
I don't have sound at work so can't hear anything in the video.

isnt that more or less hand, feet, eye coordination problem than having a broken ankle?
