[DML] DeLorean Legroom (was DMC vs Fiero)

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

I know that the DMC-12 is touted for it's spacious headroom and legroom (for
a sports car, anyway). I can attest to this, since my other car is a Miata
and is not exactly tall-person-friendly.

BUT, I am forever getting my feet tangled in the pedals. They don't really
seem to be closer together than any other car I drive, but I think the
throttle is closer to the footwell wall than I am used to, which makes me
put my feet closer together. The other day I turned a quick-stop into a
panic stop because I stepped on my braking foot while trying to push the
clutch to the floor!

I'm not that big of a person at 6'0" and size 11 shoes. Is this just me?
