Neither of which would be physically possible to heel-toe. Even if your foot were big enough, the brake pedal was so much higher than the gas pedal that your ankle would have to be double jointed, and your foot would have to have a right angle bend in the arch. You would startle children and little old ladies if you walked down the street with that.

Meh. It could be done in the 5 tons but still never did it.
Many of my cars could not be heel and toed even if I had wanted to. My 58 Ford had no cover on the clutch pedal so it was about an inch wide piece of steel about 8 inches from the gas.
