[s-cars] Custom Pedal set/heel-toe

[Linus Toy]

You're right for our cars as delivered ... If your foot is wide enuf.
Have you driven an older Porsche 911, where the pedals come up from out of the
floor?  Kinda odd, but I found it easier to use my actual heel on the gas pedal
with ball of foot on brake pedal for this.
