Walt, I'm 6' 0" and not in the shorter leg group. I usually drive with the seat all the way back. I'm not sure if this matters but it might make a difference depending on your particular driving position. I like to lay back as far as possible. I would say that if I had an automatic car I would think a dead pedal would be even better as your left foot doesn't need to move as there is no clutching. Again the difference IMHO was remarkable. I now feel as if my left foot isn't flopping in the footwell but rather in a position that makes shifting a closer move. I've tried to drive with the seat closer but it feels too.......what's a good word.......tight, crowded, uncomfortable. The reclined position works best for me so the addition of the pedal makes for a perfect foot rest. Also, one reply posts mentioned that they got their pedal from Rob @ PJ Grady. I wasn't aware that Rob had them as well. Mine was a Christmas gift from my wife who saw the DMC Houston mailer that came to the house, I had circled it as a "wish" item and had forgotten about it until I opened up my Christmas gift. So, I don't want to offend anyone by making them sound exclusive to one vendor, if any of you or any our fine DMC vendors viewed it this way, I am sorry.
