The four nuts are reinstalled, and here's the finished product. We repeat the process on the passenger side and have two sweet seats that should hold the driver through big g-force.

Anyone who's tried to heel-and-toe in an F-body has been disappointed, especially if they've ever driven a Corvette. The spacing between the brake and gas pedals is too wide to roll your foot over to the gas, and turning your right foot to the left and attempting to catch the gas with your heel doesn't work very well in our cars.

AutoVation offers four-piece F-body race pedals for my application (PN SPCHFB4M, $89) that decrease the space between the gas and brake pedals-and look great to boot. This is the no-cost matte finish-with a little customization courtesy of the AutoVation crew.

The accelerator and dead pedals utilize self-tapping screws to retain the new pedals. Simply place the AutoVation pedals over the originals, adjust them, and start screwing. Pull the rubber covers off of the clutch and brake pedals, place the AutoVation pedals in the desired locations, mark them, and begin drilling with a 3/16 bit. You'll want to use smaller pilot bits to get the holes started. Bolt the clutch/brake pedals into place with the included hardware and 3/32 Allen wrench.

Here's the final product. Not only does the gas pedal extend over, but the brake and clutch pedals are wider than the factory rubber covers, which helps as well. AutoVation also sent along a couple of its new milled heel guards (PN SP10565HG, $69/each) for use in this Z28.
