Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

That was my thinking too- H&T means you are braking whilst blipping the throttle to rev-match whilst braking and down-changing into a corner.
Leading evidence: 'Replace into a corner' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace into a corner' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Noticed an odd thing about my C4S;
If you apply the brakes and accelerator at the same time (e.g to dry the brake discs in the wet) then the power is cut until you release the brake again.
It also happens if you try the same thing coasting in neutral.
It presumably also affects the ability to heel and toe, but I haven't tested that yet.
Is it a fault with my car, or is there a reason for it?
Thanks

Its not just yours. I used a 997 for weekend from the dealers and it did the same. I was trying to dry the brakes off as I do in my car after washing,by driving with my left foot on the brake for a short distance-but the car stopped!
Its because the later 911's have a 'Drive By Wire' system.. IE- When you touch the brake it cuts power to the engine.
The older 911's have the standard 'cable'.
And I think.. The GT3 and Turbo (late 996 &997) has a drive by wire system that will allow both to be pressed.
When trying to dry the brakes on my 996 C4s it too cuts the power. Cant say it makes any difference to normal driving as im not a master of the heel & toe.
Heel and Toe has nothing to do with power being cut off if you press both the brake and accelerator.
Now if you were left foot braking whilst holding the throttle to balance the car that issue would manifest itself. The newer (as mentioned) 996/997 will not allow you to press them both at the same time, this includes the GT3 and Turbo.
That was my thinking too- H&T means you are braking whilst blipping the throttle to rev-match whilst braking and down-changing into a corner. Should be irrelevant for road driving I accept, but still fun.
However, it would appear that dipping the clutch overrides the accelerator/brake cut-off so H&T is unaffected.
