Depending on the arrangement of a car's pedals (and my feet), I sometimes
find it easier to toe-and-heel with my heel on the brake and my toe on
the accelerator.  The braking "feel" is not as sensitive; but cars
on which this method is necessary are rarely much fun to drive at
10/10ths, anyway.  E.g., a nicely executed toe-and-heel downshift,
followed my a smooth acceleration through an early apex, just isn't
as much fun in my Omni as in my Bugeye Sprite (which, of course, has
its pedals arranged for easy heel-and-toeing).
