Default Pedals for better heel-toe

I came across an ad for this while reading Makes & Models.

I think the pedals look cool.

I think the stock pedals work just fine for heel-and-toe

Wow; those have to be the ugliest pedals I've ever seen. The stock gas pedal could be larger; I can heel/toe ok, but prefer the method where you roll your ankle and blip the throttle with the side of your foot and I can't do that in the Z.

if anything, you'd want the top of the gas pedal to protrude more bc when you're riding the brake with the right part of the ***** of your feet, you want to just roll your ankle to hit the gas. YOu really aren't using your head and if you are, you've got good flexablity. It's really the side of your foot that hits blips the gas to shoot the RPM's up.

That's what I was referring to in the method I prefer, but in the Z, due to the gas pedal being too small/far away, I have to use my heel to blip the throttle. I press the brake with the ball of my foot and pivot to blip with my heel (I guess I'm pretty flexible, then...). Oh, and I wear a size 11.

I wear a size 13 shoe and I can heel toe just fine. I think the Z has pretty nice pedal placement actually.
