    The Lotus Elise pedals before they changed to the DWB 2ZZ-GE (early 2ZZ-GE still has a throttle cable). They are all cut from the same aluminum extrusion.

    The pedals on a Mercer Raceabouts, with the outboard accelerator, are cool. The pedals remind me of stirrups, with the bent up edges of the accelerator foot rest, brake and clutch to keep those slippery feet from slipping off.

    @LibertyMilk: They should put a third one in there that doesn't do sh*t... just for looks. lol

    Actually, they should put a third pedal in there that doesn't do sh*t on a number of cars... just for us guys like me who can just NEVER get used to any kind of semi-manual gearboxes, whether they be flappy-paddle, or like the stickshift version on my 3-series, that do not require a clutch pedal to shift between gears in manual mode. Can I get an: "Amen, brothah!"?

    I feel the need... the need to depress a pedal with my left foot!

    @HoonThatFerrari: My apologies sir but I cannot in good conscience "Amen brothah" you because if I'm going to have a third pedal taking up room down there I want to to function. but I do see the stupidity behind semi-man trannys. I understand that on performance cars, they can shift fast than we can...but its stupid to offer a truck or a family box with one. and to me shifting is probably the most important part of performance driving. your ability to shift is like having a big package... doesnt neccessarily mean your good at it, but probably so

    @LibertyMilk: I was, of course, kidding... if I wasn't sufficiently sarcastic to make that part clear, then I apologize. It would indeed be senseless to have a non-functioning pedal.

    I was more or less bemoaning the fact that after driving however many manual/clutch-equipped transmissions over the years, I just can't get used to the non-clutch type. Most of time, I end up just leaving mine in full-on slushbox mode, and this is the 2nd car I've had with a tranny like that.

    I'll keep trying though! lol

    Hate to say I'm this simple but I love roller pedals, especially when one cuts off the throttle stop [evil smiley]

    @Buzzboy7:

    Why does everybody go and bend the clutch pedal like that?

    I love the feel of the type-1 pedal cluster, but having dealt with getting the clutch cable to stay on the hook while installing them far too many times... Hell. I still love it.

    @Joe Brandt: I've driven a lot of vw's and I don't think I've seen one with the f'ed up pedal. What I like is that it's floor mounted as it feels more natural to push. And I definitely agree on the clutch cable, after breaking a hook in the process and fishing around in the dark with a flashlight for a while I feel your pain.

    I can't find a picture, but the pedals on the Zonda are pretty awesome in terms of their level of design and fabrication quality.

    I just took this shot of the Tilton set up in my Ariel Atom. They're perfectly situated and you feel everything the car is doing through them - form and fuction.

    Gumpert Apollo. Function has never been so ruthless or tyrannical towards form.

    It probably has pedals from an A4 and they probably put them so far back to hide the fact.
