I do that anyway, but I wear a size 14 US Mens shoe so it's fairly easy.

My 2005ish Focus had issues with this which wasn't helped by the horrible seating position and pedal placement. The 86 and GT4 were excellant though, you wouldn't know that they were drive by wire. Pedal placement on the GT4 is spectacularly good as is the weighting (obviously there was explicit effort in this area). 86 was good but not great, I did do an actual heel and toe on that as opposed to the use the outstep that you'd usually use on other cars though
Oddly, when I did the Skip Barber formula cars, they were definitely set up to be "outstep" style.
Oh it's definitely done with both-sides-of-feet. I thought that was kinda how most people do it, now. I have big feet, tho.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever hit a gas pedal with my actual heel. Almost always it's the right side of my foot.
Any time I try, my foot feels so clumsy and close to slipping off and getting stuck behind the pedal(s) that I have no confidence in trying it with any real amount of braking applied.
Get that weak shit off my track
I did have an easier time kicking my heel over on the MX-5, the pedals were just far enough apart that I'd have a hard time hitting it with the side of my foot. Then again, I think I have small feet for my height.
Yeah, I've got size 7 feet and always used my heel. Might also be because most of my manual transmission cars have been Mazdas with a few Hondas thrown in.
It's still easiest for me to do it with my heel in the Challenger. I wonder sometimes where the three-pedal setup came from in that car, because it's actually done quite well for heel-and-toeing. Maybe the Viper? The clutch and transmission came from the Viper, too.
I have noticed DBW cars I've owned needing a harder kick to the has to get the revs up with the clutch and brake in.
Heh, when I first started driving, I had my dad in the car with me ('95 325is). I was slowing to turn down our street, and when I went for second, my foot slipped off the brake, but I decided we were going slow enough to make the corner anyway. I made it, but got an earful about how "this isn't a race car!"
