I find it a bit hard with the stock pedals

While we're on topic, what's a good set of pedals that will make heel-toe easier? They'll be relatively cheap, so I can ask one of my friends to get it for me for christmas.

There was a group buy a while ago not sure if you can still get the pedals at a discount or not though. I did'nt buy them because I think they were about $50+ and i cant see myself spending that much on pedals. I also remember that you cant just slap any set on your car. My idea was to bend the gas pedal up closer to my brake pedal.

just becuase it's called 'heel toe' doesn't mean you actually have to use only your heel, and only your toe. Depending on the car, the pedals will allow certain variations of the same technique. On my a4, it's more of a big toe/side of foot. Other cars, different parts of you foot based on the the spacing.
The real important part is keeping the rev's matched and up high, so you don't throw off the balance of the suspension, as well as have the motor in the sweet spot for the turn exit.
