Somthing that I have learned

One thing that I have picked up from driving my car all over the place is that you have to do a lot more tap dancing on the pedals if you don't have sport pedals installed. The art of "heel toe" is just about impossible for stock pedals, so that is my next up grade. To rev match downshift isn't too tough, but I do agree it definately takes longer than a day.

Besides practice, having the right pedals helps. But what is often overlooked is having the right shoes. A good pair of driving shoes will help tremendously. the flat bottom and rounded heel and soft sole give you good feel, grip and modulation.

It took me about 2 years to go from noob to natural as breathing, keep practicing.
