Its a whole lot less funny when you're driving down the road and your sweet wife is screaming at the top of her lungs, "WHERE'S A GOD%$&M GRENADE WHEN YOU NEED ONE?!? ALL THE SHIT IN YOUR GUN SAFE AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY F§¥©ING GRENADES?!?"

Have you introduced @sideseatdriver to your sweet wife? 
Going in to a turn it would allow you to downshift while also pressing the brake. And be able to shift while turning. Less clutch time basically. I can't pull it off with the brake and gas configuration on the sling. It's okay, my rev matching isn't bad.
Why would you need to burp the gas to downshift though? If you are downshifting, I can't see a need to burp the throttle. Only when upshifting does it make sense in my mind to burp the throttle... Have I been driving "wrong" all this time?
I have watched several videos and read several explanations on this. I still don't get it. I can't understand why I would ever need to bump the throttle to rev match while I'm braking...
What am I missing here??
Because you supposed to be down shifting at the same time.

same here... I have many driving shoes but hell they never and I never could get this method down. I really would love if a few of us took a driving course... with this main point in mind. Would kind of cool to do. But this bumping the throttle would put me into a wall QUICKLY! No Skills 
I would love to take the Skip Barber driving course if any one else is up for it let me know.
It has been on my to do list - just aint got it done

That sounds good but I know that might be to rich fo my wallet ... I have never looked into the cost... friends have told me it's about 1400.00 and UP. But dang it's a good idea for sure Mitch.
For $900, I'll teach you everything you need to know!! 
Except Heel-Toe... this concept is beyond me!! I don't understand why you need to blip the throttle while downshifting!!!

Okay brother ... Do u take Food stamps.... heheheee.

Sorry @sideseatdriver, I meant to say has @KayTwo introduced you to the psycho who want to play with hand grenades?

Bahahaha. If only you knew. I've thrown more hand grenades than I can count. Played with shape charges, claymores, anti - personnel mines, bangalors, etc. I am that randomly kind-of-but-not-quite-psychotic friend that everyone needs.
But I don't share K2, so that nice person you were describing earlier just has to die.

I'm in love!

You're one of the nicest persons I've never met. That ma'am, will never die, it's who you are! Stay safe
No way I am doing that with size 13 etra wide...
Blipping the throttle when down-shifting on the limit, or even when down-shifting on the street, will completely remove the sudden compression you feel in the rear of the Slingshot. It allows the gears to mesh together better when releasing the clutch and, if you do it right, you will not feel the downshift.
Half of the drivers who are racing are doing heel-toe, the other half are not. We find that as long as full traction control is on, and you get all shifting and clutchwork done prior to entering the corner, there won't be a major issue. However, remove traction or stability control and you MUST heel-toe if you're braking on the limit and entering a corner.
Heel-toe is relatively easy once you get the hang of it...practice, practice, practice. Size 13's may seem tough but try to push down the brake pedal with the ball of your foot, then pivot the heel over to the throttle and give it a short stab before quickly letting the clutch out 
At the last couple of track events, I have been working to teach myself how to better heel/toe in the Slingshot.
It is a little hard than some other vehicles I've driven because of pedal placement and how slow revving the Slingshot is. Once you get the rough hang of it, it really helps in corners where you are hard on the brakes and are going down 1-2 gears.
You can somewhat hear it on the below video. Not that many shift points at the tracks I run, so it is a little hard to get practice.
Forgot to mention how important shoes are. You want shoes that are very form fitting and you can feel what your feet are touching. It seem to be also easier if you have pedal covers because there is more pedal area to get your feet situated quickly.
