GT3 E-gas question

Does GT3 has e-gas function? Is that mean you can't do heel and toe on GT3?

Yes the E-gas is on the 04 GT3's, but not on the MkI GT3.

The first generation GT3...Not sold in the USA

Yes, it has the e-gas function, but you can still heel-toe...no problem.

It's only left foot braking you can't do....clutch is still out and you can't gas it. Heel toe is, clutch in, brake/blip throttle/shift, let out clutch. No problem with e-gas

Still work in progress for me too Mansour!!! I practice it everytime I drive it...I won't drive it any other way when down shifting so things are slowly coming together. Maybe it's my size 14 feet that help....

As you probably know, the name heel/toe is somwhat a misnomer since the heel really does not come into play except that you push you heel away while braking so that the foot rotates counter-clockwise so that the right side of the ball of your foot is able to make contact with the gas while the left side of the ball on your foot is still on the brake. Since the right side is making contact with the gas, you are able to blip it. I found this article quite helpful...
