heel toe

is it me or is it kinda hard to heel toe on our cars? I mean it seems like the gas pedal is lmuch lower then the brake pedal. Is there anyway to fix that problem?

Funny, I think the pedal placement is perfect provided you have a healty amount of speed to loose before entering the corner. Once you are actually on the brakes the pedals are just about even with each other allowing for an easy blip of the throttle for the downshift.

In every day driving it can be somewhat problematic if you don't need to slow the car down too much to make the turn. In this case I typically go into an engine brake before using the actual brakes to finish slowing down the car to go around a corner.

I can't do it in mine either, but I have small feet. (7 women's)

My idea is to get pedal covers that can either replace or install over top of the factory pedals. Replace the brake and clutch and then just install the gas pedal on top of the stock one, that should reduce the distance some...
