Yup. One of the easiest cars to heel-toe that I've ever driven. Pedal placement is honestly spot on.

It takes me a little getting used to (first M/T car though), but when I properly heel and toe this car just rewards you with such a smooth shift. I don't know why anybody would want rev matching on this M/T unless they are really lazy.

It is a "cool" feature, I guess. I know I thought it was pretty cool when the 370z first announced they were doing that. Now, I just don't see the use in taking out another connection the driver has with the machine

I'm one of the fake heel toe'rs that rolls their foot to blip the throttle. for me, pedal placement is a bit too far away for that technique, but nothing the Cusco gas pedal can't fix.

If you have an ECU flash you can enable this, but frankly I would never use it when you can do it yourself. Don't need another electronic anomaly to worry about.
