It took me a while to get that bad habit out of my system.
That being said, I heel and toe every 90 degree turn when in the S2000; just a way to remind me not to ride the clutch in the turns

1. Depress clutch
2. Apply brake with toe of right foot.
3. Select lower gear
5. Rotate right foot to the right (counter-clockwise) on the ball of foot
5. Apply throttle with heel/side of right foot. I usually rev motor to 3500-4000
rpm
6. While revs are up, release clutch. When done well, there should be no
engine braking felt. You

I'd think that this saves on the clucth and synchros' but even without that benefit, i'd still do t to practice SMOOTH driving.

If you don't match revs, you WILL unbalance the car, and in some extreme cases, you will chirp the rear tires (assuming RWD) as your lock them up and put your drivetrain through unnecessary hell.

Agreed. I have used H/T in all vehicles except when puttering around. I really do not think you can be smooth and fast otherwise.
