Do you guys still blip the throttle when downshifting? Or let out the clutch slowly and let the revs climb themselves?

I usually don't blip unless something serious is going to happen, like a 180 degree left hander!! haha.

It depends... in normal driving situations I'll always give a little gas when downshifting, and I mean little. It doesn't take much on this weird DBW throttle.

If I'm... um... in a hurry (haha), I won't bother. My size 14 shoes won't allow me to heel-toe with the pedals the way they are.

I feel the same way about the throttle. But more importantly, it's good to hear there's another poor bastard out there with size 14s!!! Here's to bigfoot.
