@Sacto Mitch posted:.Is it just me?
I've never felt the need for a dead pedal in this car. When my foot's not on the clutch pedal, it's flat on the floor, with my knee straight up, and for some reason that feels OK.
My build is kinda the opposite of the silverbacks here - 5'10", long legs, short torso. I find the Speedster generally comfortable, once I've wriggled into it. My head is below the top of the windscreen with the standard VS Speedster seats, which also seem to fit me OK with no alterations. There's actually a lot more room around the legs and feet than in my first gen Miata.
While the VW pan was laid out assuming you'd be sitting in a chair, not flat on the floor, this still seems to work for me - even without a dead pedal.
It is just you, Mitch. None of the rest of us hold a candle to the Bronzed Adonis from Sacramento. Our stubby tree-stumps need a place to rest.
Again, and not to belabor the point, but for the slow kids from Pekin:
^ Mr. 5-Speed, tanned and fit.
^ the rest of us, schlepping along with our plebeian 4-speeds.
