    Exactly what Greg said. I drove a FWD ITB car for years, could do heal-toe just fine (always did it on my street car cause I thought it was going to be necessary), but never found a gain by doing it. Instead, I found that one time I'm under pressure, it's one more element that I could potentially f-up.

    My ITA Miata... What Greg said again. Tried without...Ugh.

    It's not a bad thing to learn how to do on your street car. I'm all for learning different tools you might someday want to try.

    Heh.. dang.. buncha softies. I heel toe just about every downshift. if I don't, I can end up locking the rear end and going into the corner backwards. One of the 'perks' of being RWD I guess...

    I do it all the time (street and race), which is extra challenging given the lack of mobility in my right ankle. However, I've tried doing it in big trucks with air brakes and the results were less than spectacular.

    That depends on which side of the camera you're on...
