i cant believe i read this much junk at once. heel-toeing has nothing to do with braking. it allows you to rev-match when going into a lower gear while braking. go find a corner somewhere that requires you to go from 3rd to 2nd. you either have to take your foot of the brake for a moment to rev-match or ride the clutch out. so yeah what is the point of heel-toe?
