I know I'll be able to get it with more practice, but this car is harder to do it in for me. The situation, which I failed to mention, is during braking situations when you would like to select a lower gear like when you are slowing down and preparing for a turn and need the correct gear ready to pull you out of the turn. During those situations I feel as if the revs hang too long and it ends up over revving. I have to adjust to blip the throttle lighter than other cars to have a smooth downshift, but its so hard to get used to that especially since I have size 11 shoes and the footwell isn't exactly spacious. Anyway, I am just going to have to get used to it I suppose and practice...

"we talkin bout practice?"
