Heel Toe on the 370

There is a little disconnect here. Heel-toe is a technique for downshifting while braking. Double-clutching describes a technique for downshifting and has been described at length up above. The point here is that the act of double-clutching may incorporate heel-toe downshifting if you're trying to brake at the same time. One is not a substitute for another.

The nice thing about SRM is you can concentrate on modulating your braking and picking the right line without the distraction of rev matching your downshifts via Heel and toeing (with or without the double clutch two step)...
