Why no dead pedal?

AMG forget? I like having something to plant my left foot on. Instead, my 11 C63 has a soft floor board.

My C350 had a nice one.

Why no LSD, HIDs or keyless go as standard in a car that can add up to almost $90k with all the options? No one knows...

Of course everyone knows the answer to that question. Because they can charge you for everything you want!

Why no flux capacitor?

Mine doesn't have a metal plate that matches the other pedals but does have a ledge to brace your foot?

I bought one for like $90 IIRC. I can't remember where I got it though. I would just search "dead pedal" and the one most people use should come up.

Now we're talking. I'd like to add one, but where would it bolt or secure to?

I just have a "ledge". This is an upgrade I would like to make.

maybe MB took the luxury aspect too far with their carpeted dead pedal. I'm sure the feeling of carpet between our toes is better than cold aluminum with little rubber nubs.

Check this thread:

If I recall well, some went with velcro to attach, others drilled them through to the footwell.

I wondered the same thing a few months back. But I did get some weathertech floor matts that totally protect/ cover my carpet so it didnt matter now.
