Default heel to toe

What the hell is heel to toe shifting. Or how do you do it and what are the benefit?

yah watch initial D... that poo poo is the badass... with a little drama on the side too... so you can watch it with your girl...lol

if you cant ... this is a dummyfied version: so i do apologize...well first of all it's
heel-toe not heal-toe? something wrong with your toe? jk.. anyway... the art of heel and toe is easy said than done... basically you twist your right foot (or left in japan) anyway you twist your right foot to the left... to the point where you can put your heel on the gas and your toe on the brake... and hold it... while you are drive ... jk... the point of doing it is to corner faster(??? i could be wrong) by rev matching... so you take the corner by controlling the throttle and brake... you brake so you slow down enough to turn and keep the throttle open enough so that can accelerate quickly out of the turn... so by doing heel and toe you create something that TAKUMI does so well while delivering TOFU (LOL, what a cool dad) "VICIOUS DRIFTING"

since we all have front wheels drive... I heard it's harder than if you have rear wheel drive... (for drifting)

Pants, heel n toe'n is the ability to brake to the maximum and downshift by rev matching the engine to the gearbox. You brake with the ball of your foot, and rev the engine with the heel. Allows smooth shifting, and saves the strain on your gearbox and clutch when otherwise you would be forced to just drop the clutch when down shifting...
