That's a good vid, and the pedals look like they do in the S6. I'll have to try it.
As for the dress shoes, I only put them on for the picture. My sneakers were pretty nasty looking. :-) I'd probably be wearing runners for this maneuver.

Let's face it, it requires a double jointed ankle to do it with OEM pedal configuration...

After a short period of frustration I found a (my) solution. Happy heel-and-toeing!

and they have sequential gearboxes which allow them to flat-shift
also they have anti-lag. to make a slight correction, most rally cars have very little lag and usually make way more torque than HP. they're doing like 360hp but like 450 ft-lbs out of a 2.0L.
