when you downshift, i hear no throttle blip. no blips at 0:18, 0:41, 1:08, i heard a slight blip at 1:23, hit the center line at 2:20, no blip at 2:53, 3:33, 3:54... it's unfortunate that your reading comprehension skills seem to be worse off than your driving skills.

There is a huge difference between scrubin of speed and mantaining a smooth corner entrance and momentium through the turn alowing for a fast and controble exit...as I said before you have no clue how to drive the canyons....

you have no idea how i drive. good job making assumptions though!!!

You say I have a lack of driving skill ? Take another look at the video and point out the times I cross the center line, better yet point out the times I don't cross the center line.....at speed.....a measured 12 mi. in 8:26 87 mph average.....and that is the point. It takes skill to drive in control at speed....

what was "beside the point" was the distance of the section in the video. maybe what you don't understand is that i have driven that canyon nearly 100 times, in both directions, and my point was that i didn't think that section was 12 miles. if you have evidence to the contrary, i'll happily retract my statement.

if all it takes to have this AWESOME driving skill is the ability to keep the car between lines painted on the road, i'm surrounded by all of the world's most amazing drivers constantly when out on the road. oh, you didn't run into anything either? good job!!!

Heal and toeing is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously (prior to entering a turn), and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear so that there is no momentery locking of the drive wheels which could upset the car as it enters the corner.

i know what it is and how to do it properly while threshold braking, but thanks for trying. my MR2 doesn't have ABS, so i actually had to learn to prevent lockup myself.

It has everything to do with gear ratios matching drive wheel speed...... Now point out one time the rear wheels chirp due to improper downshifting....

you stated before that you had "the correct gears for the corners." that's fine, but explain how having the proper gears for the corners precludes you from needing to execute a proper heel-toe downshift coming up to the corner.

I never contradicted myself, you just don't know what you are talkin about and that's how people know it's you speakin like an idiot..
(denoting a person of low intelligence)..

you have no idea what i know, how smart i am, or anything about me. you're the one who joined this forum exclusively to come on here and call me names. that makes you an awesome human being.
