Default Race Pedals?

Anyone know where to buy good, affordable racing pedals?


is it just me or is it nearly impossible to heel-toe in fbodies.. even my friends '94 z28 was difficult because of the pedal spacing...

Prices start at $69.00 and go up from there depending on options - mine were somewhere over $100 (they were having a 20% off sale) since I got the black/silver anodized grid pedals (just like the ones in the thread I linked you to).

I wouldn't know...never learned how They were specifically designed for it, so I would assume that it does.

I am also running the SRP's. They make heel-toe extremely easy. I could heel-toe prior to them, but I also wear a size 13 sneaker. The grip is phenomenal with them, I purchased them as I went to heel-toe one day after it was raining and my foot slipped right off the brake, ordered the pedals that day!

i have a size 9 shoe hahaha and i cannot heel toe... i know how but its like.. my 93 buick lesabre has a better heel-toe setup as far as pedal spacing compared to my 2000 z28.

so i have been thinking of getting some form of pedals that would make this easier for me... isnt it difficult with the wall directly to the right of the gas pedal? doesnt that get in the way?

I'm 71" tall, I think I'm proportionate.
Yeah they initially had a sale on them when they first became a sponsor, I wonder what they cost now? I will say they are worth every dollar, I was actually shocked the first time I drove with them, had to adapt and get used to them.

No as I aligned the new gas pedal with the edge of the factory one. Your foot would have to be really really big to hit the trans. tunnel. I also checked before installing it that there would be no issues going WOT with the way I mounted it. The gas pedal rotates so I guess I was just being paranoid in that regard.

yeah i thought about that too... mounting the new gas pedal might hang over the edge and screw up WOT...

hmm well thanks for saying it wont! i will probably buy a set of racing pedals in the end of summer or so.. have too many upgrades going on right now as it is..

if anyone has more racing pedal pics please post so i can see different styles

I recently got the SRP pedals. So far they seem to be better for heel and toe but have not tried 'em out on the track yet. I have the matt finish and they do have good grip. They are far better than the covers I had before.

I have SRP Racing Pedals and I love them. They are such a great bang for the buck. and yes, heal-toeing is a lot easier w/ them...it's virtually begging you to heal toe it..cause it makes the pedals a lot closer together.. sometimes when I lift my foot off the accelerator pedal the rim of my sneaker will catch on the brake (that's how close they can be)....it took a few days to get used to that but I enjoy them a lot. I have it on my foot rest..but I'm considering to take it off cause it looks weird. ...here's the only pic I have of them..
