But then again we are mostly going slow enough to shift to 2nd for a slow corner using synchros anyway.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Aside from that, the Senna video (which I've seen before) always blows my mind! I always hear, "Smooth...rollll on the throttle". Then to watch Senna repeatedly stabbing the gas!!! Like Agent Jester said - We ain't Senna!!
Heel-n-toe is hard to do on the street (in a slow car) but on the track not so bad due to you being hard on the brake, that will suck up your 3/8 of an inch in a heartbeat.
Check your foot placement, shoe size BEFORE you modify anything! Most likely you just don't have your foot in the correct location.
I put my heal directly under the throttle and pivot on my heal to put my big toe on the brake. I can modulate the brakes better with my toe(s) than the ball of my foot (when "threshold braking" un-curling my toes will take me from full lock to just off full lock). Once you have the brakes covered stab your knee at the shiftier, this will cause the side of your foot to hit the throttle giving you your blip.
On the street it's tough to do (too slow) but at the track it works like a charm! Practice practice practice!
I put an extension on my throttle in my first race car, when I went for the brakes I got BOTH! Not good. Work on a technique that works for you and don't modify your pedals.
I drove BMW's for years and the peddles were placed perfect for me, in my C4S I had to make a minor adjustment to my foot placement and all is good.
I've gained more respect for Senna through videos like this than when he was alive. He is about the talent of the driver not the technology of the car. His driving is an art...imagine how bored he would be with PDK.

You can get away with stabbing the gas in a Honda NSX. Not so much a high powered 911TT, Viper, Corvette, etc.
Ayrton Senna..the legend decides to scratch an itch on his face from boredom @ 1:48 bc that NSX just didn't do it for him like the McLaren. And I agree, there are no Senna's here on RL. There will never be another Ayrton Senna. GOD bless his soul.
Here's SRP pedals with the extension you had inquired about. I have a set on my 996 and love them.

As mentioned above hard braking (right at the threshold) is pretty much required to effectively heel toe the 911. My M3 is the same way.
I have trouble with it on the street because threshold braking will get you rear ended. But then again we are mostly going slow enough to shift to 2nd for a slow corner using synchros anyway.
I never heel toe when Autocrossing but occasionally depending on car I am in will left foot brake.
I have always been a fan of double clutching though I do rev match on occasion. I find the 996 easy to double clutch and my average sized feet have no problems covering the brake and throttle. I pretty much do as can be seen in the video below of Gary Sheehan.

With the P cars I really find you have to do it this way. Roll your foot over like the NSX vid, don't swing your foot like the WRX vid. That being said, it's easy to step on the gas while your braking when you do that. You'll see Senna was. Looks like he was keeping revs up sometimes and maybe even doing it a occasionally mistakenly. Pretty sure he wasn't trying to teach to whole world how to drive when that vid was made. More likely he was just trying to get a feel for the cars dynamics.
Try and get comfortable on the street rolling your foot. After a couple days you won't be shopping for extensions.

I heel-an-Toe everytime I drive my 996. I started to using it when I had to with my 81 SC as it had the 915 trans with a worn second gear syncro. Even after I had the box rebuilt I still used it while driving. Now I can't seen to not do it. I has to be second nature if you want to use it at the track so daily practice is a necessity.
