Absolutely not ....
Thats the dangerous variety, using the side of the foot to push the accelerator. Do it a bit wrong and your foot slides of the brake between the pedals, considering the small contact patch you have on the brake pedal + the amount of force needed to brake + the fact you need to tilt your foot to push the accelerator.
My heel-and-toe downshifts are as the name implies. Top part of the foot firmly on the brake pedal, and the heel is used to blip the throttle.

that description of double declutching by Wired magazine is wrong.
The procedure is
engage clutch
shift into neutral
disengage clutch
use throttle to match engine revs required to drive at current speed in the gear about to be selected
engage clutch
select gear
disengage clutch
do this properly and the clutch is superfluous
when you have this sorted you can try doing this whilst braking, called a heel-and-toe it might more properly be called a big-toe-and-side-of-foot.

Everything about Porsche in the last 5 years has been focusing towards the least common denominator. When they announced the auto-blipper on the Cup they openly said it was to cater to the gentleman racer. Porsche Motorsports runs their operation as a for profit program. The auto-blipper on the Cup was to increase sales because m(b)illionaires who wanted to go "pro" racing would have a more "reliable" car. Now they trickle this down to the street cars so that the street people can feel more like racecar drivers. It's all marketing. And in the process is makes it something that a monkey can drive well...

i heel and toe
i owned a cup car and i didn't need bleeper.
i dont want pdk, i want a car that drives it self and make me look good, while i sit in the paddock and getting a nice tan. performance cars are jerkey and very hot inside. i am too old for that.

I'm waiting for A/C vented CF bucket seats with harness holes, I don't care how much they weigh, the GT2RS with PDK torque vectoring automatic steering and line correction will make me faster..
