Pedal spacing

Postby Colin GTA V6 Turbo » Tue Aug 27, 2013 7:38 pm

Guys

I'm a new GTA V6 turbo owner with wide size 12 feet.

Is there a sensible way in which to increase the pedal spacing...to save me deploying all three at once?!

Yep I've size 9 feet so not super-sized, but there are certain shoes I just can't wear for driving the GTA, so check the shoes first. Doc Martens are off the list for starters.

Or you could just ask Julia Roberts to drive it for you a la Pretty Woman:

I'm gonna show you what this car can really do. Are you ready ? - I am ready.
Hang on. - Okay. - Here we go.

This has pedals like a race car. They're really close together.

So it's probably easier for a woman to drive, 'cause they have little feet.


Ok that was a Lotus Esprit, but same principal, they're race derived so part of the charm. :D

If it's just a weekend car then race booties help no end. I've got an older pair of Sparcos -

:lol: ... in related dimensions I guess :wink:

In my case size 10, no great claims to fame, and I guess the extra 2 sizes must make the difference... No problems & / or complaints with zee pedals, thus far... squidging round to a slight angle will help :wink:

Kin ell! You know what they say Jon, big feet - big shoes :wink:

I have a more minute shoe size of 12's and have to be careful with which shoes I wear when driving Alpines. As above "clod hoppers" are out and more dainty boat shoes or trainers are the order or the day.
