It's both. Don't ask why lol hahaha I dont remember my pw for MBQ so I use LEK at home. But check it. Heel-toe is definitely the way to go. It just makes me feel uncomfortable in this car. Maybe I need to adjust the pedals. It can be down easier in other cars I've driven though. When I watch BM videos it always gives me the energy to go out and practice. LOL

I agree the pedals aren't the best in our cars (even after doing the clutch pedal DIY tweak), but I think that the car is actually pretty forgiving because it has a pretty smooth power curve and does not rev up and down too fast. Now if you have a lightweight flywheel and Tilton or similar clutch, it would be a different story. I want that different story!

I can't stand the pedal setup. It's hard enough learning to be comfortable with it driving normally.
