I read the Classic Motorsports link and I just don't get the why behind doing this to a manual car. Porsche put a pretty good pedal setup in the car from the factory. Heal and toeing is such second nature now that I don't really think about it. It takes some time to get comfortable with the process, but is really not that hard with practice.

The biggest problem I have encountered is that the ratios in the 6 spd on the S are not consistently spaced, the lower gears are not close ratio at all and the uppers cogs are very close. I often over blip on 4th to 3rd and under blip on 3rd to 2nd.
