Gas pedal location - egas vs mechanical

[PaulE]

I've been in California for the past week, and had an opportunity to drive my good friend's 99 Base Boxster a couple of times. I have a 2003 S and am about 6 ft 3 in tall. In my own car, my right leg is always slightly bent and my right knee bumps against the center console. When I got into my friend's 99, I noticed something was a bit different - my right leg was completely straight on the gas pedal in his car. Both cars are manual transmissions and manual seats which look identical, although his feels slightly higher than mine, even when set at its lowest level. Is the mechanical pedal located further from the seat than the egas pedal? For everyday driving that would be nice to have but I can barely heal and toe in my car, the 99 would be impossible because the gas is so much lower than the brake pedal. Just thought I'd share my observation.
