Default pedal adjustment

Any suggestions on how to make the go pedal a little higher and wider to assist with heel/toe in the Z06? I feel like it sits to low and to far away from the brake.

I can understand wanting it wider but not sure why you would want it higher. My brake pedal is solid just above the gas pedal level. That way I can be hard on the brake and roll the side of my foot over on the gas pedal to add some throttle. With the stock calipers pad taper will gradually cause the pedal to drop below the gas pedal level but it can be brought back up by pumping the pedal twice or using your left foot to tap the brake while still accelerating toward the next turn. If your brake pedal level is below the gas pedal then you may have some seriously tapered pads and replacing them will bring the pedal back up.

Ultimatepedals. om (missing one letter) has an extended gas pedal. It attaches with screws on top of the regular pedal, so it raises it about 1/8". I'm very happy with mine. I used to totally suck at heel and toe, chirping and sliding into the beginning of corners, now I'm as smooth as glass. Well I might not be that smooth, but the pedals aren't the problem anymore.
