Default C5 Pedal Height Adjustment?

Several years ago I rode in an early C5 with Pedal height adjustment. My 2004 does not have that feature. Is there any way to manually adjust the height? I'm 6'2 and would like to stretch my legs a little more.

You sure it was a C5

Maybe a Viper - but not a C5 (TMK)

Default Yes it was a C5.

I'm certain it was a C5 Corvette, white vert. I think it was a 2001. The pedal height worked with a switch on the dash and also as part of the memory settings. It was an automatic. Adjustment controlled both accelerator and brake pedals.

Steering wheel adjustment (in-out)? Everything is relative.

Ok maybe I was sniffing glue ... but back to real question. Is there any way to adjust the pedal height?

The memory switch buttons in 2001 are on the dr door along with the lock and window controls... You were in a different vehicle possibly.

I'm only aware of the pedal movement option in the Ford F-Series, not the corvette, as stated, just the wheel powers in and out.

The pedals on my 07 Avalanche are adjustable.

You could remove them and change the angles by cutting and welding but it's certainly not worth the effort and you may increase the possibility of metal failure.

my Bravada and my Yukon have electric adjustable pedals, but Ive never seen this on a vette. The vette is a racecar you can drive on the street, you dont want electric pedals!
