If your foot is centered on the edge of the brake pedal it is surprising just how far you can rock your foot over to operate the accelerator.
Most models of Porsche have some sort of adjustment for the forward/back placement of either the accelerator or brake. I was thinking of moving the 928 accelerator pedal back just a bit as I sometimes hit the throttle unintentionally under hard braking.
I used to drive in leather loafers, there was a hole in the sole in the middle of the ball of the foot where the brake pedal fit nicely.
