So true. Honeybadger has a video that shows him heel-toe on the track and youâll see that hard braking makes it much easier.
See I dont think you can practice it every day on the street because you have to brake hard to develop the proper muscle memory. Doing it on daily driving will develop bad habits in my opinion. This is for a gt350 anyway where unless your beaking hard heel toeing isn't as easy as some other vehicles. All in my opinion
So you lose the quick adjust ability of the parameters on track (not a huge deal once you find what you like, but still...), but gain a harness for the pedal connections? what makes it much higher quality and what's the price point?
At the Corvette school, they teach heel/toe down shifting without heavy brake pressure. It's about consistency of pedal pressure and heel/toe motion. It is easily practiced and achieved at normal speeds in traffic. In my case I leave my heel on the floor and move my foot to the brake while stabbing the throttle with the right side of my shoe while applying even brake pressure. It's hard to do and that's why you need to practice every day. I actually turn off the heel/toe application on the Vette and use heel/toe exclusively. I will admit however that it's nice to not have one more thing to think about when you are going down 2 or 3 gears from 140mph. Just my opinion.
Never heard of it but some quick googling
Wrong. There are two diff versions from autoblip. One is 12v one 5.5v. The latter is rare and is mixed in on 2017-18 MYs. You can specify which you need by checking voltage. CS at autoblip is awesome.
A friend of mine whose been racing for years brought up that he likes the auto-blip due to the clutch wear and tear savings. He mentioned how the clutch can wear so much faster on track compared to on the street due to increased load and heat. His comment was, âno matter how good you are at heel-toe, youâll never be as good as a computer.â
Yeah fair enough. I havent been able to heel toe in the gt350 without hard braking, maybe just my feet. I have in other cars. Hey if you can practice it without almost causing a crash everytime you brake on the street then fill your boots
The biggest difference in quality starts by not tapping your DBW, which is extremely sensitive, and compromises the units reliability immediately. That alone is a very big deal. I've spoken directly with several owners that have had issues with it randomly not working on track (yes, they checked their DBW connection) and that's what led me down the rabbit hole of searching for a better solution. I wasn't willing to spend $400 on something that was hit or miss and ended up calling Xineering.
so it doesn't work with the majority of GT350's? That seems bizarre to me... or do I have it backwards? I thought most were 12v and a few were 5.5v....
