Why adapt yourself when the car can adapt to you?
It’s a machine, it should be adaptable to suit you not the other way round.
Why have 258lb ft, or 280 or whatever, available to you from just over tickover only for your car to have worse low speed response than a car 20 years older with less than half the toque?
It’s not about getting full throttle lower in the pedal travel, it’s utilising the available torque smoothly and giving a sporty car sporty responses.
It’s about driving enjoyment without having to mash the pedal to make progress when there should be no need to.
If you don’t have a problem with the car’s responses then you don’t need a pedal box.
If you find it a little compromised then why compromise yourself for the sake of £150 or so when you’re looking at a £20k - £45k purchase.
