Default Downshifting

When driving around, I prefer to blip the motor before downshifting for a corner. I do it on my other daily driver and it's much smoother way for me to drive especially when braking.

When I ran a school Cobra at the track in Pahrump, the brake pedal was high enough for me to use that technique.

Unfortunately, the brake pedal on mine depresses about 2 - 3 inches below the loud pedal and I can't roll my foot over to make this work.

The system has been bled and it helped a little but not much.

I have seen pedal extenders but they all looked like Rube Goldberg devices.

Has anyone here experienced that situation? If so, how did you resolve it?

'appreciate your input,
Ivan
