GET USED TO THE PEDAL SPACING. Especialy if your feet are over size 10. I have a SPF too. Trailered the car to a winter car show and jumped in to roll the car out of the trailer. Had not been in the car for two or three months. Got my feet tangled up-good thing no one was behnd me for several feet when I rolled out of the trailer. Lots of guys have had pedal grief 1st time out. There was a flight surgeon (can't think of his name) who had an early SPF. He let a friend get in the car. Friend slammed a wall and totaled the car before he could get out of the parking lot. Totaled it not with speed but not used to the pedal/seat angle and spacing of the pedals. Jabbed the gas and could not find brake.

I early on remember out cruising on the freeway for sevearl minutes. Went to jam in the clutch to down shift and hit the brake insted. They soon will be second nature to you-but do not let unfamiliar friends/family take the wheel. Wife or older son want to drive-take them to the wide open spaces away from traffic
-They are differant.-Good luck
