[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 5987246, member: 11681"] SAGE words of WISDOM spoken right there!! I employ the last second shift method also. 1. I never learned to heel toe and didn't need to when I was Ice Racing... If you pitch the car sideways it's the same as hitting the brakes... except we would hit the gas ... FWD would pull you in and the revs are up and tires digging in before you even apex. 2. sticky tires + race pads + 4 piston Brembos + stock smushy suspension = a car that is way too easy to upset if man handled too hard. 3. Times I have shifted early... it was way too easy to upset the car on clutch release. I brake really late and really HARD! Not a stab but still really hard. What I finally do NOT do anymore is an abrupt brake release... or an abrupt throttle up. Everything has to be smooth or the car freaks out. I'd like to learn heel toe to save a little wear and tear on my syncros... but I'm just too darn busy at my current skill level trying to be smooth and hooked up to even try and mess with it.:smmon: I'm a work in proccess..:rollseyes [/QUOTE]
