Is it just me or are our cars just a pain in the you know what to heel-toe? I have driven Corvette C6's on the track, porche 911's and they are so easy to heel-toe. (obviously these are two superior machines) but still I have a lot of trouble with the S197's. Just please let me know I am not the only one.

I've tried that and have a hard time too. Maybe it's because our pedalsare too small or too far apart, or maybe too close together. I'll have to check my pedals. Maybe aftermarket pedals would help.Hmmmm...

I agree ..

I have no problem, neither did MotorTrend. I don't really use my heel though, rather the right side of my foot to blip the throttle.

Try to get rid of the deadspace in your accelerator pedal. I did, and now it's quite easy to do...side of foot like CataclysmGT said.

How do you heel-toe-downshift anyway?

I think the s197 is well set up for heel-toe, or toe-ball, or whatever you want to call it. It's easier for me than on other cars. I keep the heel firmly on the floor and swing the foot to one o'clock to blip. This is a lot easier on my aging knee and hip than the "traditional" way. If you go to the site www.hookedondriving.com and find the the heel-toe video in the gallery/track TV/getting on track section, you'll see the technique I mean (demonstrated on an s197 no less!) This car actually has the first pedals I've ever been happy with.

Depends on your foot size [8D] My size 12's work well for me.
