hey guys, quick question.


I didn't rev match/heel toe until I bought the S and I've driving stick for about 7 years. After reading up on it I tried it out. It is, for me, very easy to do in the S. The pedals are spaced perfectly for it. I don't always do it right, but its really fun and ...yeah.

Started doing it the 2nd year I was driving, great way to save your clutch. I pretty much know at what speed what my RPM is going to be in what gear. Takes time.

Also when at low rpm's and rev-matching, I always press the accelerator in just a nudge (~a centimeter) for a brief moment (few milliseconds) to get up to ~3500-4000 rpm, and then blip it. Otherwise it may bog for a moment and then when it stops bogging the revs will really take off unexpectedly.

And as everyone else has said, better to rev too high than too low.

Have fun!
