Even after 4 months and 5k miles, the pedal still feels a little odd. I also think the pedal needs to stand a little more vertical. It feels like a really far reach when I floor it. I drive with the ball of my foot. I had never planted my whole foot on the gas pedal until owning this car.
If you knew this was an issue why did you buy the car? Only my Jeep doesnt have a floor mounted accellerator. After this whole issue has been brought up I actually like the floor mounted better. Guess I am used to them.

I got the car because I liked it the best out of all the ones I drove. Trust me, I drove lots and lots of cars. I spent a whole day are carmax driving every car that I though I wanted. I then wen tot each individual auto dealer to drive them once more. Each in different trim. The Nismo seems to have the most sport factor with the looks, and interior fit and finish. Bottom line, the car feels and looks like a 40k sport car. Other cars like BMW 335,z4 looked nice but did not feel sporty enough. The mercs felt good to sit in, semi sporty but don't look sporty imo. Lex is 350 was a mix in between them both. But, it was far from sporty to me. The cayman was nice but it was a bigger hit for the $$ spent. I was really close to buying one until I found out about the new one that came out. It made me sad because it looked 100x better so the cayman/boxer was thrown out. Then I was about to plop down the $$ to buy the new cayman. Then The new C7 was gonna come out. I was torn once again. I decided to save up a few more K and buy a c7. Then 1.5 months went by and I decided I didn't want to dish out $750 a mo for a C7 nor $800 for a Cayman. I went and redrove the Nismo and said it was still sexy, fun and sporty.. It just has a damn floor mounted pedal !!! Yeah, the cayman is too, but it's a whole new SEXY!! Anyhoo, I happen to find a good deal, so I tested it. Then did the paperwork for her.
