Stopping is just a variation of decelerating.

You can also decelerate using JUST rev-matching and no braking...

In this car I use the extended gas pedal and instead of heel-toe I use both balls of my right foot.
Big toe on brake, right side on gas to blip.


In my Porsche the gas pedal hinges from the floor so I actually use the heel of my foot to blip the throttle.
I dunno, I don't blip when I downshift, doesn't jerk or anything
