Makes perfect sense. And yet another reason to practice my spirited driving with SRM off. Although I still have trouble heel-toe in this car with the gas pedal pivot at the floor, and I wind up fat-footing it a lot. Maybe I'll practice some downshifting with SRM on and additional throttle input to minimize the engine braking. Thanks for the tip

I use SRM all the time on the track with no issues. All the people who have ridden with me, thought that I heel&toe great.
