Every downshift is a rev match...every downshift under braking is heel/toe...I can't stop doing it, it's 2nd nature now h:

Left-foot braking with sequential box > heel-toe

Who said anything about street cars?

But now that you mention it, you can get an MR2 spyder with a sequential box for like $25k.

Yeah, but you can read a novel between upshifts. Takes wayyy to long to complete the shift. SCC tested one a while back, they were enthusiastic, but not bowled over by it.

A stronger clutch pack and more aggressive programming would help. Maybe.

To answer the thread, I can do it fairly well. Don't get much practice on my daily drive though.
As an example on one of my favorites...a decreasing radius 180 by Richardson Bay, under US101.

From about 60...I set up with a heel/toe downshift to 2nd, with a wee bit of trail-braking. Entry at about 35-40...Then feed in a healthy amount of steering input and a bit of throttle, and tighten my line with a quick dab of left-foot braking as the rear comes around a bit. Exit at 50-55, with a subsequent upshift to third.

Very fun.
