heel and toe shifting

Has anybody mastered heel and toe shifting? I've had this sudden urge to start trying it on my local roads on the way home from work. It's pretty hard but I think with a lot of practice I can get the hang of it.

Practice makes perfect. I've been doing it not long after I learned to drive a manual and it is second nature to me now. The TSX transmission and clutch is very conducive to learning heel-toe shifting due to proper pedal placement and shifter feel.

yup. feels alright in the TSX. I wish the stupid DBW allowed for a more natural blip of the throttle though.

It's more like side and side of foot for me.
