So, a question to all the recent F430 stick shift fanboys out there. How many of you have mastered your heel 'n' toe technique for perfect rev matched downshifts? I would say the automatic engine blip you get with the F1 equipped gearboxes is pretty spine tingling - particularly with unplugged exhaust valves - and is one of the most compelling reasons to own one of these cars.

I couldn't heel 'n' toe a manual to save my life but would appreciate someone who can posting a video for comparison purposes?

Video evidence required please. I need to hear if you can achieve the same rifle sharp blips on downshift as you get with an F430 F1 gearbox.smile

Finally found what I was looking for. Manual F430 using heel 'n' toe shifts with a dab of left foot braking thrown in too.

Sounds pretty good.
