Totally. I use Sketchers for my "performance" driving, while not a drivers shoe, they have a rounded heal perfect for articulation....tennies just dont cut it with there pointiness...

I actually don't know why they call it heel and toe anyway -- it's really the side of your foot -- the big toe plus on the brake and the right side of the ball of your foot blipping the gas.

Something else they'll teach you in driving school --- the brakes are for stopping -- the motor is for going.... In other words --- don't use compression for braking.


Rev matching is for the transmission and so you don't get compression - which really upsets the car.

That's great unless you autocross. I realize that type of consciousness is in the rear view mirror. :mock:

I earned this smilie fair and square :sieg:

Bryan - Maybe you need an extension that is wider than Dave's "racing" stripes or thicker than GW's lifts. :whistling:

My pedal surface is 1-1/8" from the pivot pin centerline. I can add aluminum spacers if I want to move it out farther. I may add a 1/4" spacer and see how it feels under hard braking. The 1/4" would probably be better for casual around town driving but I attempted to find the happy medium within both pedals range of movement.

Agreed, and I have a set from a long time ago. :) I haven't used them yet, but as I get more accustomed to the car, that will become part of the driving suit. :)
