heel & toe

Picked up my Avant monday and have been driving since, gotta
break it in as quickly as possible (cannot wait to chip it).
The sport suspension is great (at least for now) and I really like the 17".
I have a question about heel & toeing though. My gaspedal seems
very low and I can hardly reach it with my heel. Did you guys change pedals
or do I just need to practice more?
If anybody has more break-in tips let me know, any input
appreciated.

"heel & toe" does not literally refer to your physical heel & toe. More like sides of the foot

Right, but it's still difficult with the stock pedals.

lol.. Will, you know what they say about guys with big feet...

they wear big shoes.

Seriously, with my 9 1/2's, it's not all
that easy to heel toe. It would be MUCH
easier if the pedals were out the same amount,
and required similar amounts of pressure to apply
the gas + brakes respectively. I guess the
gas is in more than the brakes b/c of all the
idiot drivers who would probably confuse the
two pedals and cause another "unintended acceleration"
fiasco. Sometimes I really think we Americans
in general don't take enough responsibility for
our own stupidity.
