no.  audis were designed to be driven on the street with little or no
rev matching shifts.  otherwise the pedals would not be the way they
are.  if you look at italian cars or real racing cars, the pedals are
shaped and arranged in a manner much more suited for heel & toe
shifting.

rather than changing your shoes you should be thinking about having
racing style pedals fitted.  i don't know if the various racing rules
permit it, but i think that it would be quite dumb if they did not.

whose ego is going to get bruised this time?  :)
