Feet off ground, shuffle steer as well. If I'm in a rearwheel drive car I do the hand over hand thing, but i think its just because Im not good with rearwheel drive.

 

if i go into a turn, i match the revs as close as possible unless i wantt o break loose.
if im in a straight, i do about 50% rev and let the other 50% drag thru the gears to slow. not sure how much it helps.

 

if the engine is on...it's using gas...

 

no i meant older cars as far as pedal layout (more room) aka being able to actually twist your leg to heel toe. With the subarus ive driven, the only reasonable way to do it is with your ball, not heel.

 

Really? I was always taught that if an EFI car's computer noticed that there was no throttle input regardless of RPM's, after a few seconds the computer would shut-off injector flow.

Maybe that's only true of the most primitive systems from the late-60's or so (think VW Squareback). Can someone clarify this?

 

Anyone else notice it's only rev-matching and not double-clutch?

 

I rev match more than I double clutch. The tranny doesn't take much inertia to get spinning.; The motor on the other hand does. I notice very little difference rev matching only opposed to double clutching

 

It's up to the computer. Decel shutoff was used for a little while on the earliest of the Bosch systems VW used, but then discontinued for the aircooled motors, and later reinstated for the watercooled ones. I dunno what Subaru does. I can feel the difference when it goes from decel to the idle setting, and my guess is that it either shuts fuel off entirely or maintains a mere trickle.

 

Yeah, it's pointless to double-clutch a synchroed transmission.

 

depends...if i ever need to get into 1st gear i'll have to double clutch after 15mph.

 

When running through the gears my heel is off the floor mat, however, when driving in traffic, slow speeds and downshifting my heel in on the floor mat.

 

Same problem here. I can't do any heel toe play in my size 13s. I just can't roll my ankle the right way without hitting something.
