Default "Racing" pedals... do they help?

So my friend just got a set of these special "racing pedals" http://www.scfyb.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=51209#51209

and he claims that you can do some sort of gas/brake thing at the same time. While they look cool and I may buy a set just because they look 1000x better quality then Sparco/Razo Clamp-o-matics, I can't see how they allow you to step on the brake/gas at the same time... or at least any better then you could with stock pedals. Is this BS, or is there some merrit to "racing" pedals?

yea its true. The bottom of the gas pedal is made bigger so its easier to do the heel toe type down shifting.

IMO, if you do a lot of "active shifting", not just your standard clutch in slip and go i say they are totally worth to move pedals over to fit your foot movements a lot nicer.
