Didn’t your car have a Corvette drive by wire set up from when your car was first built by Bill?

I don't think so, I don't remember hearing that. I think it's always been drive by cable.

I sent a reply to your email.

Can anyone recommend a replacement throttle pedal assembly that will work with the stock brake pedal assembly?

The thought of having the throttle stick at 112mph kinda got me thinking I should replace it. Besides i want a better heal toe setup.

Thanks.

Just did the rennline gas pedal, it's not cheap, something similar could be fabbed up as the concept itself is not rocket science. If you wait long enough they go on sale but still way too much $$ IMHO. I had a gift certificate so it wasn't too bad and I got it when they were 20 or 25% off.

That being said, night and day difference on pedal alignment for heel toe, which on a big HP car makes a huge difference on driver control

The big dollar option, super adjustable with extensions:

The middle option

The low cost options is the lifter plate:

That's really nice. I wouldn't mind spending the money to get it right. But I may take a stab at doing it myself first. I like the wings, but I'm not sure why they didn't just make the pedal wider. Aesthetics probably, they wanted to pedal to look normal from a glance.

I like how they made it adjustable for height or depth depending on how you look at it. Thanks for showing me this. I'll keep an eye out for sales.

The side wing things are adjustable up/down in/out. I just have them butted in square as a starting point. I get a way better "foot cover" over brake and gas now... I have to take it out for a road test to really get a feel for it but it hit 102* yesterday when I put it in so...when it cools down a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

My LS6 has the DBW (drive by wire) probably a 200$ swap if you need one. pedals , dbw box and cable to wiring harness. seems like your staying "wire cable" but if you need part numbers or how to convert it let me know.

This is the info on your drive by wire on your car when it started out. I belive this is your car when it was built by Bill or William

Thanks Bob!

That's a great thread!

I would be fine with the original setup but it had a single point of failure. I'll check it out and see what great options I have.
