Launching!
I bought adjustable pedals that could be widened...i think they are called Razo. I picked them up from amazon.com. Its pretty neat actuallly...the brake and gas pedals have plates that can be adjusted to make them wider so it's easier to do HT or an ankle roll.

The gas pedal can be easily bent closer to the brake pedal.
I have tried it, the problem I have is that with different entry speeds you are pushing the brake pedal down harder with more speed, therefore the pedal height is always different every time you step on it.
I have gotten pretty good at rev matching though.

to be honest, most of the time i rev match downshift normally going into a corner and the engine has enough torque to pull me out in that gear. I.E. - wot 4th gear rev match to 3d and get on the brake, hold third through turn, or rev match down to second just before the apex. i find if i do this smoothly its almost just as good as heel toe. I could heal toe in my old civic really good its was super easy but i cant seem to make room for my foot in the camaro.

Noob question, what's the reason for this style of downshift versus a regular downshift, does it help to slow the car down when your on the brakes or is it to just keep the rpm's up and in the correct gear to exit the turn?
