There might have been a discussion but this in the past, but has anyone else noticed that with the brake pedal pressed, the accelerator is locked out? I first thought the pedals were just not positioned well for heel and toeing, but after experimenting, I discovered that as soon as I press the brake pedal, the accelerator can be floored without having any effect. It’s not an issue in normal driving, but just means that you can’t rev match with your foot on the brake which is unusual. ASC on or off makes no difference. Any thoughts?

Most “fly by wire” type vehicles are like this. If you had an earlier car with a throttle cable it would work.
