You lost me for a minute - growing up I leared that heal and tow was the rolling clutch technique.

What you are talking about is what I was told is called "rev matching". Apperantly the person that "learned me" was not brilliant about the correct terms...


Ok the problem with rev matching on this car is the gas pedal is so far down and the angle sucks on top of that. It would require a driving shoe with a heel. unfortunantly my foot (size 10-10.5) can just barley grab the top corner of the brake pedal when depressing on the gas with the heel on my shoe, maybe it will work for you. In the end my foot slides off the brake.

I guess another options would be to order another gas pedal from MB (Part No. A 170 300 00 04) and try to place and angle it on top of the current gas pedal for autocrossing and pull it off for around town...

Sorry for the confusion,
