Default general question: heel/toe while downshifting
To start off, I'm not a racecar driver nor have I ever driven a racecar (or a cobra for that matter).

I've read on a few threads about using the heel/toe method while downshifting for a little throttle blip. What is this and furthermore why is this used?

Why would you want to rev the engine during a downshift? 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear are synchro'd right? If so, why bother to do a throttle blip?

Carl
