Performance is all about maximizing the car and its control. Tactile feel and Pedal grip are all about enhancing that control that you have over the cars inputs. You don't see race cars with rubber, aluminum "trimmed" pedals..,,,(duh)... If these meet your needs, then great....I have no problem with that choice, just dont pretend it's as good (for really serious driving) as a dedicated, Grip enhanced race pedal. Sounds like it's good enough for you though and that's OK. Personally, I drive in Piloti driving shoes, not sandals or bare feet. Control and feel is important to me. If you don't really "Get" this then you're a pretty typical driver, and a very typical 370Z owner(from my observations here) . Some of us aspire to be more than typical and value the stuff that makes a difference in feel and, yes, performance. Sometimes it's as simple as not having some rubber to numb the feel between you and the controls. The "closer the bone, the sweeter the meat" so to speak....
