I brake with the left foot in autos like my Titan and when I race karts (well, obviously). I got real comfortable with it after many MANY hours playing Forza 2 and 3 with the force feedback wheel and pedals. I don't bother in the Z since I don't track it (yet...) and prefer to keep my left foot over or near the clutch.

There ought to be a workaround like on the Titan's electric throttle, well-known over at Titan Talk as the burnout mod. Guys have been doing brake stands at WOT for years, it's a pretty simple mod to do as well. Of course, the trick is figuring out if the wire is the same color on the Z or not...
