At 12:58 it is PAINFUL!
How do we put this issue to bed once and for all?

You start by wearing shoes like a normal person. |

You've seen it or lived it? Your the one asking. So ask this, how many people drive their Cobras without shoes
Back in May, 2019, at Laguna Seca, six months before Ford vs Ferrari movie debut, I talked for a while with the stunt driver for Christian Bale that played Ken Miles. He drove the #98 white Superformance in the move and later on took it home as his own. He never once complained, made mention of a hot foot like this guy did. Becouse he probably never drove the thing in his socks. |

That's aluminium sheet metal that he has his right heel on most of the time.
The heat transfer coefficient for aluminium alloy is very high..... so that's a starting point 
Cheers!

This is right of this website and this forum so no need to gaslight this fact or bash a well-known reviewer.. It seems to be real for several owners. I'm looking for someone who has solved it.
Hi guys. I'm new. I have just finished SPF2828 and have been on the road only 2 months. It gets really hot in the drivers footwell, especially on long trips. Is that normal or can you do something about that?

Chupee,
Not sure where you're coming from with this. That car has an aluminium alloy plate and the exhaust runs directly under it. The aluminium is hot, not surprisingly.
Are you concerned about the "horrific heat issue" or not?
This forum is useful for helping people with issues, not for gaslighting.
Cheers,
Glen |

That is exactly what I am concerned with Glen. So your response to my question is to simply blame this noticeable footwell heat issue on the aluminum plate correct?
Thanks. Ill reach out to the manufacturer to get their take on it. |

"gaslight this fact"? It's either fact or it's gaslighting. Gaslighting is typically used to convince people that something is true - when it's not.
Regardless, others have pointed out the facts that: 1) aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat; 2) undercar exhaust passes right under footbox; and 3) reviewer isn't wearing shoes.
Solutions include, but are not limited to, the following:
