Or is that a new tongue in cheek idiom?
AFAIK, it’s peDal, not peTal, and the other way around: pedal to the metal. The literal meaning is to push your accelerator pedal down to the floor of your car, which is made of metal.
- goodmythical 3mo ago"metal to the petal" gives me more of a "gilding the lily" flavor, especially in cnotrast to the original construction. Still not sure if it was on purpose, but I read it as a reference to a "but can it run DOOM?" benchmark.
