Default I just do the old double clutch with a rev matching blip.......>>

Remnants from my old British car days (and a couple of trans rebuilds on same!)

Default I see no real point, if you mean *rev match* than yes.....

If you are talking about heel toe, than this really does not work, all power is cut and the point of having your foot on the gas is moot. I just try and have more hp on hand, that helps make up any defeciencies I may have =-)

Reve matching is something I definitely do, it makes the mediocre 5sp actually perform OK

Default Oi! What are you saying about British cars?!

Well, perhaps I shouldn't say anything here after all ;-)

Default I try to...

I can only reach the gas pedal if I am breaking V. hard, which considering that I have S03s and its been snowing in DC, is not v. often.

Default Not in the TT. Combination of foot size, leg length does not work for me

Frankly, I am surprised you can do it since you are taller than me, might be the difference in the coupe and roadster now that I think about it. Thought about getting some different pedals but never have gotten around to it. It is a little easier on the equipment when on the track don't you think?
