is it just me or is it hard to heel toe with the z because the gas pedal sits lower than the brake or the clutch? is there any way to adjust the petal or is this something im just going to have to relearn for this car

 

No. I find the pedals well placed for heel toe.

 

I don't know of any cars where the gas pedal is even with the brake - that would seem to be pretty dangerous

This makes it much easier:

If your actually breaking hard you'll find that its very easy to heel toe O'connor

totally agree with the above post. Much easier when slamming on the brakes hard. Even with 11.5 size shoes the pedals feel great, as long as they are thin soled and skinny.

 

yes, pumas FTW!!!

Its tougher to do it just riding around town, but if you're actually driving spiritedly then its much easier.

 

I bent the throttle pedal about 1/2 inch over to the Lt , helped me out a lot.

 

I heel toe naturally when driving normal. But out of the hundreds of manual cars the Z to me is toughest. But I also have a 12.5 shoe so I have more trouble than most.

 

i think you just big toe little toe with those big feet you have.

 

i heel toe as well towards almost all stops. just a habbit. I have a 13 shoe, however have only driven the Z with shoes on maybe 4 times. Im always barefoot (habit of where i Live) while driving. I would immagine pumas or like wise would be good as they are a bit thicker than socks.

 

Lol, whatever works right.

 

I thought so too at first, you get used to it quickly. I wear only a size 8.5 US shoe, and can half-foot the gas easily when I brake and downshift. Stock 350z '03 track pedals.

 

I agree that its easier to do if your driving hard, rather than just cruising around town.

I find it is easier to use the right side of my foot to blip the throttel while breaking instead of the heel.

I have to do the same thing in my fathers car as well. I can't seem to bend my foot sideways like you see the the Tsukuba races.

 

I have small feet (size 8) but with practice I finally was able to figure out how my foot needs to be positioned. My hardest part is spliffing the gas enough on the shift to not make it jerk.

So have faith
