Do you brake, blip and downshift simultaneously?

This is precisely my point. I never said I did not fit in the car. I said I barely fit in the car. My point was that if I barely fit in this car, then it would be less practical for someone who is in between 6'1 - 6'4 or taller.

If you would have taken the time to read my post, it stated that my knee hit's the steering wheel when I brake, blip and downshift simultaneously.

Other than that, I just fit in the S2000

Do you heel-toe, or do your roll your foot? I heel-toe and have zero problem, but I'm sure I couldn't roll my foot. I'm 5'10". I think I'm one notch from having the seat all the way back.

I heel toe, but I have to rotate my foot in order to do so.

So what's hitting? You shouldn't have to lift your knee any more than you would to normally brake.
