Cayman S: New pedals for the race track.

[Brad B]

I did this a while ago but never got around to showing it. I track my Cayman S quite a bit and 'heel and toe" shifting is part of the required learning curve. For those who don't know, it's a method of manipulating both the gas and brake pedal with one foot to make better shift/brake/power transitions for better car balance. Here is a video: Porsche Carrera GT Heel-toeing - YouTube (Crank up the sound!)



I purchased these pedals for good grip, plus they are slightly larger than stock pedals. I then manually adjusted the height of the brake/clutch and gas pedal in relation to each other. Primarily I wanted the brake pedal, when partially depressed, to match the level of the gas pedal so I could slide my foot over easily.



Next, I added a stainless steel extension which gives me an easily reachable platform to place the side of my foot on. Finally, I added a plate behind the brake pedal which acts as a stop and prevents my right foot from accidently getting stuck behind the brake pedal when I am sliding it off of the gas pedal. (Things happen at speed. Better to be safe.) These changes made a huge difference for me on the track. Much better and faster rev matching. Fun Fun!

Sorry for the blurry shots.

Yeeeeehaaaaaaa!

Those look like they'd be a pleasure to work with.... very clever with the pedal extension plates.

Unbelievable footwork

I need to learn how to do that. I just don't know if I have the coordination to pull it off.

An another note, is every rally racing fan suicidal? It looks like the automotive equivalent of running with the bulls.

Very nice pedal upgrade.
