I think more than half of the people won't drive 50km/h in city! But what piss me off is some people drive at 40 something and still step on the brakes... Of course heel toe is not for the average joe driver...if you can't do an emergency stop during heel toe you shouldn't do it at all cuz you cannot control the car! You don't need to drive near redline to use heel toe, you can use this technique for smoothness too, do you see the point? I've been driving stick for so many years now everything comes as second nature. Did your driving instructor tell you to check for pedestrians way before you turn? That's driving 101.
The tranny won't blow up right away but eventually you wear the clutches inside much quicker than normal. Even the slightest downshift, say 2000rpm diff, there will be wear and tear. Tranny is not hot? Man...you should feel the tranny fluid coming out a car after it's been drove around. Of course it won't be close to engine oil temp but still it's pretty warm. What do you think tranny fluid coolers are for? Heat is big killer for auto trans, and if you don't change the fluid often, it's even hotter with more friction.

do u guys actually know what heel toe is? there is no point to do so around the city unless u always keep ur car in 1st or 2nd, at the most 3rd gear ~ without enough rpm unless ur brake stops like *** ...
Huh...what do you mean?
Just a random search:
"Heel-toe or heel-and-toe double-declutching is used before entry into a turn while a vehicle is under braking, preparing the transmission to be in the optimal gear to accelerate out of the turn. One benefit of downshifting before entering a turn is to eliminate the jolt to the drivetrain, or any other unwanted dynamics. The jolt will not upset the vehicle as badly when going in a straight line, but the same jolt while turning may upset the vehicle enough to cause loss of control if it occurs after the turn has begun. Another benefit is that "heel-and-toeing" allows you to downshift at the last moment before entering the turn, after you have started braking and the car has slowed, so the engine speed when the lower gear is engaged will not be too high."
It's not really "needed" in the city...but at the same time a lot of "performance cars" are not "needed" too.
u can actually trail brake...those c 9 and 阿伯 are a pro...
or like today got cut off badly by a white b!tch...and last night by a mazda 3 and another mazda 3 was tailgating us....ppl should learn how to drive...

Heel toe around town ?? I hope you mean on track .. lol
Even on track .. nowaday car .. dont really need much heel and toe ..
踩brake過彎 is common sense .. even driving 4 times more HP .. I still 踩brake過彎 ... rather then 拖波 .. $2K for brake is better then $15K for tranny ...
I guess I am old now... lol .. I was driving like an idiot when I was teenage too .. Rx7 .. Celica GTS . AE86 .. CRX .. Sirroco .. 325 .. those aggresive days were gone ..
