I"ve just picked up my new stang and boy do i love it. Beats the MX-6 i owned hands down. i do have a concern though.

basically, my gas pedal is set well back from the brake and clutch. it makes it almost impossible to do heel-toe driving. is this normal? if it is, is there anyway to adjust this? i'd like to bring it up more inline with the others. it's set about 4-6 inchs closer to the firewall then the others.

Here's the exact link. It's easy, takes about 10 minutes. I did it and I found the pedal position MUCH more comfortable.

10 minutes, you must be a midget gymnast or something. it took me about 10 hours. that thing is a bitch to get to.

does anyone know how to remove the pedal completely? i couldn't disconnect the cable from it to remove it.

I'm too lazy to take out the seat, lol. I'll sit upside down and let the blood rush to my head all day, i don't care, more blood flow equals more knowledge in my book.

What kind of pedals did you get and how long was the install?

i got bullitt pedals, i think my wife bought them from stangnet partshopper (because i also got a stangnet t-shirt). it took about 2.5 hours i'd guess. but i did redo the mustangworld.com gas pedal mod that is being talked about above at the same time.
