He really gets it sideways after the Laguna Seca segment.

I found it impossible in my s as the pedal layout was no good for me and that the lack of room meant my legs were too bent to be able to do it. The boxster I had perfect pedal layout and was the best I have so far encountered. One thing with porkers is that they think about were these things go.

There are people that can't heel and toe?

If you can't do it in the S, there's no hope for you.

I learned to do it in the S in half a day...

Porsche can't spell though - "breaking points". I'd never buy a car from a company that doesn't know the difference between "brake" and "break"

Which is why I said "for me" as I appreciate that sum people are virtically challenged and fit quite comfortably in the s. Im 6ft 3" with long legs and my legs were bent too far.
Its well documented that the s has not got the best driving position and is better suited for the shorter person. Porsches (current) have very good driving positions. But of course it couldnt be the s could it
