Corvette: Racing Pedal Reviews

Racing pedals look better, but they offer more benefits outside of the looks department. This guide provides must-know information for upgrading pedals.

By Jerry Perez - February 6, 2015

This article applies to the C5, C6 and C7 Corvette (1997-current).

For most drivers, a set of pedals happens to be one more component that helps them drive from point A to point B. But for Corvette enthusiasts, pedals are just one more part that can be modified. Whether it is to improve the look, feel, or performance of the pedals, there is a product out there that can help you accomplish just that. Stock Corvette pedals tend to be slippery due to their hard rubber inserts, therefore the general idea of upgrading to racing pedals is to improve grip so your foot won't slip as you accelerate, brake or shift. Racing pedals can also improve the feel of the pedal to create a better driving experience. Last but not least, racing pedals come in all kinds of materials and colors that make them stand out and look awesome as soon as your door opens.

Pro Tips

  • Most racing pedal installations require drilling holes and screwing the pedals into place; therefore, have tools such as a drill, drill bits and screwdrivers handy.
  • Even though racing pedals are not warrantied by the manufacturer due to being a wear and tear item, you can keep your pedals looking sharp by routinely cleaning and polishing them.
