..we don't have enough foot room in the Z!

Anybody else with a large foot constantly kicking the wiring and computer box (BCU?) above the accelerator and clutch pedals? I wear a 13, and it is a constant annoyance. My last car had a similar problem to a degree, but it was auto, so it wasn't a big deal.

This causes me to end up with my foot back at a pretty steep angle, with less ability to rotate on my heel. On long drives, it actually makes my ankle hurt a bit when I'm not using the cruise.

I can't even come close to getting my foot fully on the dead pedal.

Oh well, not the end of the world. I may see if I can either move the wires up a bit (doubtful there is enough slack) and/or maybe relocate the box.

I wear 13's too, and don't seem to have a problem with it.

The one thing I do have a problem with is tapping the climate control ***** with my fingers when I shift. I have long fingers and find myself shifting with an open hand, and my finger tips smack the center temperature ****.

I've always been...well planted. I think I wore a 12 when I was in 7th grade.

Nope, going to that Evolution school on Friday. We'll see how many cones I can suck up the grill

I have 12s, and Ive cought when putting in the clutch, my foot will be a little off to the left and wedge to the dead pedal, making it tough to let off the clutch smoothly.

there plenty of room so long as I get my feet in the right place... if Im off, I catch the dead pedal, the center console, or the bottom of the dash thing just like you.

I guess the bigger your feet the more exact you gotta get your feet.

I can't use the footrest when I have my dress boots on. I have to bend my leg and put my foot flat on the floor. Size 11.5, 12. If this is the biggest problem I have with my Z, I'd be quite happy.

Hehe, I wear a 12 4e, and my problem isn't verticle clearance, but mashing two pedals at once! I have to actually concentrate on not doing that!!

I don't know how you can even fit in the car.

I wondered what that was hanging out the front of your car in your avatar. It must be your foot.
