I didn't even realize it was floor mounted until I ripped the interior out in the conversion to race car. It works for me.

I got the car because I liked it the best out of all the ones I drove. Trust me, I drove lots and lots of cars. I spent a whole day are carmax driving every car that I though I wanted. I then wen tot each individual auto dealer to drive them once more. Each in different trim. The Nismo seems to have the most sport factor with the looks, and interior fit and finish. Bottom line, the car feels and looks like a 40k sport car. Other cars like BMW 335,z4 looked nice but did not feel sporty enough. The mercs felt good to sit in, semi sporty but don't look sporty imo. Lex is 350 was a mix in between them both. But, it was far from sporty to me. The cayman was nice but it was a bigger hit for the $$ spent. I was really close to buying one until I found out about the new one that came out. It made me sad because it looked 100x better so the cayman/boxer was thrown out. Then I was about to plop down the $$ to buy the new cayman. Then The new C7 was gonna come out. I was torn once again. I decided to save up a few more K and buy a c7. Then 1.5 months went by and I decided I didn't want to dish out $750 a mo for a C7 nor $800 for a Cayman. I went and redrove the Nismo and said it was still sexy, fun and sporty.. It just has a damn floor mounted pedal !!! Yeah, the cayman is too, but it's a whole new SEXY!! Anyhoo, I happen to find a good deal, so I tested it. Then did the paperwork for her.

Engineers reading this are probably asking, what the. Really, what difference in performance would it make -- in the end -- none. There are other better things to mess or improve upon with the 370 other than the pivot point of the gas pedal.

I understand completely where the OP is coming from. I wish there were an easy way to change it. When I heel-toe with SRM off, it's more of a fat-foot than a true heel-toe. It doesn't bother me enough to not love my Z though :driving:

I don't have a problem when I wear shoes but I always drive barefoot in the summer. The hinge of the pedal is to high off the floor. I took two layers of rubber mat totaling an inch thick and put it under the carpet floor mat. Now the hinge is at the bottom of my heel and it pivots the same place my foot does. Cut the mat to cover the whole floor under the mat, so it does not move when driving.

most of the european car has the gas pedal floor mounted, do you think they make mistake too..?

get used to it buddy, it is fine.

:icon18:

that reminds me the XJ of my father's, one time he asked me to take a look at it cause it doesn't have any power even he floors it.

I check it out and pull the floor mat backward for couple inches....

Just restore 60whp for his Jag... :bowrofl::icon18:
