Throttle pedal not convenient for accelerating

[bikemaniac]

Hi,

When driving a modern car I can keep the heel of my foot in the floor and bend my foot forwards for acceleration. The linkage is made in such a way that a normal sized foot naturally follows the travel of the pedal.

In a model A I feel I can only use the throttle pedal if I lift my entire foot from the floor in order to press the pedal. It is quite annoying, especially if you need to do a lot of driving in town. My leg never rests. This is due to the fact that the pedal does not follow the natural motion of the heel rested foot. There is a lot of friction between the foot and the throttle pedal and thus I am not in a "smooth" control of the pedal.

You probably all know what I mean. Am I driving the model A wrongly, do I have to bend something, is there an upgrade kit ... or something else?
