I've never had a manual F3x so can't add much to that part of the discussion, but I do heel/toe in the Boxster. It's perfectly set up for it, so no adaptations required. It's an absolute pleasure to do it in a car with such well judged control weights and pedal positions, along with instant throttle response.

There's lots of reasons to do it. It's enjoyable, and raises the level of interaction you have in the the driving process, and when driving fast makes for smoother progress. For high performance driving then it has lots of benefits, for example allowing for extra engine braking in heavy braking situations.

It's taken years to become something natural I do, but now it's just a very satisfying part of driving a sporty manual car.
