It was OK that my MGB was easier to heel-toe. Heck, the pedals were designed for that more than comfort.

It really wasn't OK that my wife's old Toyota pickup was also a lot easier.

While chasing the "throttle body bumpstop mod" with the complication of traction control, I ended up raising the gas pedal and bending it a little toward the brake. It's fairly easy to bend sideways, but don't try to bend it up - something else will bend or break first. I made a spacer to go under the "bullet" at the pedal end of the cable. I didn't raise it all the way to the brake pad level, just close. That helped a LOT.
