If you screw on an after market pedal such as Ruf on top of the gas pedal it'll help reduce the height diff between brake and gas for street use.

For recreational street applications, I find that "rolling" works just fine for rev matching

Isn't that some insane stuff to watch? so much talent......I love it

Help.
At 613 miles and can not wait to go past 6k rpms.
Here is my rim after driving on sunset in Beverly hills the other night

ps. I am going to renew my RL membership tomorrow. I didnt know it elapsed.

In my M3, I can heel toe like the dude in the NSX. In the 997S it's more like the deliberate heel toe action in the 350Z and the 911's, but with the added sensitivity of the pccbs, even tougher.

It's like contorting the foot in an unnatural position and just can't seem to get any consistency. Would certainly appreciate any helpful techniques. Cheers!
then, as long as the neighbors are not home, turn the car on and practice again and get used to bringing the rpms up while depressing the brake...its just going to take practice. Then find a nice stretch of track or back road and practice more. good luck

The driver did a brilliant job of catching the resulting tank-slapper.
I am going to hopefully only pay $250 as that is my deductible and get the insurance company to take care of the rest for the 2 rims.
They should do it right?
Going to call it an accident, all though I was no where near the curb. Really Beverly Hills the city should pay, year right. I could not believe sunset has this issue..
Next question is when do the rims arrive?
