I actually use my toe for the accelerator and the brake by splitting my foot on the edge of the brake and accelerator. Traditionally the heel is used for the accelerator though. Don't think it's a problem either way as long as the outcome is the same.

Yes I do the same in some cars. Like a side step foot rolls over. I thought he was saying inverted. Like heel on brake. Toe on gas. 😂

That would be a classic heel toe down shift. The OP was asking about the automatic throttle blip in sport plus mode.
The only time I ever heel toe is when I brake hard entering a corner. Selecting the appropriate gear for the turn and matching the revs to the proper speed that the transmission will be rotating at. In order to prevent the car from bucking and causing a loss of traction and/or slowing the car down more than what is needed. It's basically a late braking technique used in racing. The automatic blip reduces the juggling act from 4 steps to 3 by no longer needing the toe in the heel /toe.

So unfortunately, from my experience it's not something you can perfect on the street.
