Default heel toe shifting

every time I try to do it I can never get it right ..its like the brake and gas pedal arent setup right for this technique...

I was wondering b/c I was zipping around some back roads w/ another car and could never heel toe properly...

so if someone could give me some tips if its even possible to do it in a mustang I'd appreciate it..

It's possible(this is a link)


I do it all the time.

This will help


Takes practice and more practice and more practi....... You'll get it but you need to start doing it all the time. A good way to practice is if you aren't braking but need to down shift, blip the throttle. This will help you get use to matching RPMs so when you heel-toe alittle less guessy.

Good Luck!

I've read the '05 Mustangs are better set-up for Hell-toe shifting. Haven't driven one yet though....
