heel a toe a celica - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #12774 41 posts Started by pflau
I heel and toe downshift all the time with no issues, I actually use the technique when I Autocross. The purpose of it is to be able to get into the car into the right gear for an upcoming corner without unsettling the car. If you downshift without rev-matching then the car lurches and unsettles the car a lot, this can ruin a good approach to a corner slowing you down and also may throw your apex off slowing you down even more. BTW, I think someone should put together a driving techniques thread if one doesn't already exist.
I actually think heel and toe in 6th gens is alot easier than majority cars out there, out of about 20 cars I've driven I love heel and toeing in my car.

I apologize if someone already said this but heel and toe is for smoothness also and is ALOT better on the car, it gets you faster and smoother out of a corner.

Can't heel and toe because its front wheel drive LOL.

common dude you must admit that the pedal is a little deep, I'm not the only person who has the opinion as well. I test drove my friends s2000 ap2 and that easier to heel toe than our stock celica pedal setup. But now with my little mod its as good as the s2000.
