Yes, I agree, the stock brake/gas pedals could be a bit closer, but I acclimatized soon enough. You simply need to rotate the heel further.
As opposed to rotating my foot counter-clockwise in my last car, I found I need to rotate clockwise and put the majority of my weight into "heel-ing" the brake. It was a little clunky the first time.
