Can you maybe use the handbrake instead of toe-heel?

I do not know. I don;t think so because it is probably tied into the brake system. I do not think the hand brake will hold th ecar anyway.

As soon as I get 2000 miles I will go play with it and see if and how I could do it with 1 leg. I might be able to put my prosthetic leg on the brake and hold it there with my left hand and lift it off the brake with my left hand.

Here is my 2009 Carrera S. The lowerer stance from the Sport PASM is super nice and does not degrade everyday driving at all. After all this is a sports car...or... as I like to call it a race car with blinkers!

I wanted a low option car to keep it as sport natured and raw as possible.

Here are the options I got:
Carrera S
Sport PASM -10mm w/ LSD
PDK
Sport Seats
Red Seat Belts
Color Matched Center Console

It's got the best electronics yet!

I will tell you all this...I need to get a better sounding exhaust on this car right away! Hopefully Fabspeed, Sharkwerks or AWE will come out with something real soon or maybe I can come up with some sort of a muffler hack.
