Practice. This is my first dedicated manual car. I can heel/toe with the best of them.
I can't help but revmatch using heel/toe on every corner and even stop! I'm constantly blipping the throttle and ruining my gas mileage!
And guess who taught me? A fellow AudiWorld poster named AlanL via this thread:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/26463.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/26463.phtml</a</li></ul>

Good shoes...

Re: Sweet music to my ears - "I can't help but revmatch using heel/toe on every corner"
there seems to be quite a difference between the the height of the brake vs. the gas. The cars I just came out of were more evenly matched (vette and Formula ford) the vette had been altered but never the less it was quite closer to equal

Go beat the snot out of your brakes and you will find that they will adjust to your style.
The OEM brakes pads are an oddity in that they are highly tapered at the edges to reduce noise when brand new:

and as soon as they start to wear down some you will find that the brake pedal sinks down little bit to help out the pedal height disparity.
You can always bleed down the brake fluid a little and drop the pedal if you are in a hurry, but do remember to add some fluid to make up for how quickly the pads wear from their tapered state when new.
