The stock pedals are not ideally set-up for heel-toe-ing (I guess that's how you say it). The gas is a bit far away from the brake pedal & is significantly lower. I'm wondering what y'all's experiences is with aftermarket pedals (or covers) that might make it easier.

Thanks in advance.

I think it depends on the size of your feet and your choice of footwear.

I have relatively large feet (size 12 D) and I tend to use the left side of my foot on the brake and the right side of my foot to blip the throttle. I bought a set of pedal covers from Suncoast Parts that were inexpensive and work great. If you have smaller feet, then you may prefer a pedal with a longer extension like the rennline pedals.

Aluminum rennline pedals work fine for size 13s.

Don't need anything added with 16 5E.

With feet that size, how do you guys get into these cars?

6'2", 230, big feet, I fit fine in a 986 Boxster, but better in my 996.

I'm impressed!

I'm 6'4", about 205 lbs. The 996 interior is plenty big enough for me.

With size 16 5E I just use one foot on the brake and rock it left-right to get the clutch or throttle.

Big feet were much easier in the air-cooled cars with the bottom mounted pedals. The toe box is bigger, at least it was in my '70 & '72 911s.

In the 996 I had to cut the plastic relay guard above the dead pedal to get room for my toes. Width wise I have to be very precise with my clutch work or I catch the dead pedal or the brake. If I am driving a long distance I use my driving shoes. They are like driving in heavy socks, at least that way I can feel pedal placement better.
The down side is when I stop at a rest area I feel like a Ferrari driver mincing around in my ballet slippers.

Damn, fpb, when you posted the first time, I thought you were just having fun. Those are some big dogs.

Always has made things difficult, except SCUBA.

My little baby brother, only has 13s, used to buy two pair and give me the boxes to wear.

I have Rennline's pedals w/ the throttle extension. Just have to be careful that you train yourself to position braking foot correctly and not hit both pedals inadvertently.

Size 16? Don't you always end up brake torquing that thing accidentally?

I have the stock pedals and my shoe size is 10.5. I have no trouble heel and toeing my 996. But then I have been practicing this method for over 20 years so I'm pretty comfortable with it.
