Default Rev matching/ Heel-Toeing

How many of you guys rev match when you down shift or heel toe in before a corner or a stop? How many of you even know what im talking about, because it seems that everyone i ask doesnt know?!

double clutching = lame and pointless. heel toing and rev matching = saves bearings, gears and means more control.

I think the Fast and the Furious just hijacked my thread. But yea I forgot that it is really hard to heel-toe with stock pedals. When i bought my car that was one of the only things changed. The new padals had a lip on the gas so all you have to do it shift your toe and thatll hit the gas.

I revmatch and downshift when I have time driving faster speeds, but I usually just break. Like said before, the only reason I usually have to downshift is to haul ***, not slow down. I'll be the first to say it - i suck at heel-toeing

I revmatch when i go to the canyons. it keeps the car more stable right before turning.

I rev match all the time but to heel-toe in these cars is tough. Like you said before the pedals don't help.
