dose not really help much and cant use it in town

problem with gas pedal is my ankle foot and leg end up in a straight V even in town it sucks - maybe its just how the gas pedal feels like i have to twist my foot to right ?

gas pedal if could be slid down or maybe some company makes custom gas pedal with senor to replace this cheap garbage that is in car.

http://www.the370z.com/members/midn8...-honestly.html

the issue is that unlike most cars where you push form bottom this style you have to push at the very top and it angles off to right, so you have to twist foot to right and push down firmly at the top, - other cars are complete opposite you can rest heal over near brake pedal and just light push down at bottom of gas pedal with your toe and allows acceleration with out any extreme force with whole foot.

if this pedal could be turned upside down it probably be fine more then likely.
at feels like carpal tunnel in my ankle from having to move foot at such extreme angles to reach twist back and forth between the brake and gas pedal constantly.

but this floor mounted gas pedal is just a normal gas pedal that is turned upside down. - if could rotate it it would act and be like a normal gas pedal in normal car.

other thing should happen is break pedal should come down so it its more even or flushed with the gas pedal....


I belive it uses drive by wire -DBW system can any Drive by wire accelerator work on the 370z sense it is just a senor ?
