After years of driving much lesser sports cars, I bought an NSX as a retirement gift to myself. In preparation, I took the 4 day Bondurant course and discovered I have a problem with my big feet (size 12-4E). During one drill I completely trashed the brakes on my Mustang (the pedal went to the floor). Later, when the instructor rode with me on the track, he discovered that when I braked hard, my foot would catch the gas pedal too, with predictable results. The frightening part for me was that I couldn't tell it was happening myself. There was simply too much going on- hauling into a corner, looking for the brake point, napping a downshift, setting up the line, all accompanied by high-level noise- for me to hear the engine or focus on the tac. Anyone else with big feet have this problem?
As for the NSX, I can't heel and toe at all, and I find the space between brake and accelerator very tight. As an old fart, I have no delusions about ever being able to drive up to the car's potential, but I do have a more modest goal- I would like to LOOK like I know how to drive. Any help, comments?
