Make a concious effort to tip your right knee in toward your other leg and you will find better results.

yeah, although its more of half my right foot on the brake and rolling the other half onto the throttle.

I remember growing up my dad would explain it all the time - on every fun ride we would take in one of the toys. It always seemed so easy when he would do it. When I started driving at 14 with him, I would practice and practice but never get the timing quite right. Then, one day it happened and I remember that day perfectly. I was 16, had a girl friend over, and wanted to take her for a ride in on of our 993's. So, we set out on some back roads by our house where I grew up learning how to drive. On a a 90 degree corner that I could do in my sleep, it happened - I braked deep, executed heal-toe downshift to perfection, hit the apex, got slight oversteer and exited beautifully. I will never forget that day!

Oh, I can finally do it now with rolling my foot to the gas pedal...!

Hey Dan,

I am sorry for sidetracking, but would you mind posting a couple of pics of your CS?

I'm always annoyed how these little japanese people can do it to flawlessly.

PS: I can do double-clutch downshift no problem... like this guy in the video.
