I added a Rennline throttle pedal extension to my Cayman, which makes it easier to reach the throttle for blipping purposes. Also helpful is to wear thin soled shoes so that you can feel the position of your foot on the brake pedal.

If you are starting out you can also just practice on your driveway.
Make sure to push down the brake pedal firmly like you are threshold braking then work on getting a good "blip" until it's intuitive. Make sure your car is running so you have the same power assist "feel" on the pedal. Then go to a clover leaf to practice heel toe while not at full braking. (The difficult part to master is not the "blip", but rather to not overbrake.)

Also difficult to not ease too much on the brake whilst blipping, notice students often end up double braking. It is all practice.

While I understand the reason for the peddle extenders, I am a big fan of NOT using them.. For me, I drive more than one car.. I need to work on the skill to adjust to different peddle levels. Its great that car "xxx" is set up.. but what about if you hope in a students car? or a different street car? Don't blame the equipment
That said, I find the OP item interesting. Someday I may have a Porsche with an OBDII port

So, is the brake pedal in my 996.1 is adjustable, to get it down closer to the gas pedal?

Sadly they won their first game, so that gives hope to the Redskins fans. And with the NFL's policy of giving shitty teams easy schedules, they may come close to a .500 season. There aren't many things more obnoxious then Redskins fans who have hope of a playoff appearance.
