I find it obsolete if you've got anything manual to have footrest pedal.

Just go buy some wood from Home Depot and fabricate one with rubber molded onto it~

Drove a TR-7 5speed manual and used its deadpedel when ever my foot was not shifting - 90-percent of the time in otherwords. in traffic or on the highway.

for manual trans deadpedal is vital to foot confort and safety. simply resting your foot in front of the clutch pedal is unsafe - it take longer to move your foot/leg up to the clutch from in front of it compared to from a deadpedal to the clutch.

deadpedals exist for a reason - safety.

Then people need to be a little more aware and less wandering there minds off onto cell phone conversations and whatnot.
I drive 34 miles to college and another 34 miles back to home in heavy stop n go traffic on the freeway. My foots fine, its not falling asleep nor have I had a delay when a car suddenly stops or traffic is slowing down and then increasing in speed.....

Its a matter of the driver and how responsive they are and alert. Not the way the car's been designed~

P.S. yes resting your foot on the clutch pedal just simply wears it down, i agree thats bad.
