Pedals hits the ground too often while turning at relatively high speed I’ve been riding for 40+ years of which the last 25 I’ve ridden Specialized.
Around April last year I decided to replace my old bike with a brand new Sirrus Sport, on an XL frame. While I love the looks and riding it, I have a serious safety concern. 
It has happened now multiple times that when I make a turn at a relatively high speed,
the pedal hits the ground scaring the hell out of me. While this has happened in the past
with other bikes, it has never happened to me this frequent, to the point that I don’t feel safe riding and turning at high speeds and that of course impacts my overall performance. 

I wonder if anyone has had the same experience with my exact same bike model. Could this be a Specialized design issue...? or could it be that whoever assembled the bike used the wrong stems or pedals...?I've got some pictures of the damaged pedals:






I’d appreciate your feedback, or comments regarding how to fix this. I've contacted the place I bought the bike twice but I'm not getting an answer, perhaps I should try Specialized directly.
It's definitely possible that the bottom bracket height is lower than your previous bike and/or your crankarm length is longer.  

The BB could be lower to improve handling and I have definitely seen longer crankarms on large bikes.  A typical measurement is 175cm but you could see 170 on a small frame or 180 on a larger frame. The longer crankarm would be to accommodate your longer legs.

Look on the inside of the crankarm, you should see the length stamped in there, or you could measure from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the hole where the pedals are.

I don't think it's an inherent design issue but it could be a different design that doesn't work well with your riding style.

Side note: When cornering hard if you are going to have a foot down, you want your outside foot down.  This lets you keep your weight over the tires for maximum traction.  If you really want to continue to corner hard and fast you could ride hard in, drop the outside pedal, corner hard and then standup out of the corner and hammer on!

But, back to your original question, if you want to try and track down the issue, I would measure the bottom bracket height and look for/measure the crankarm length.  One or both of those measurements compared to your old bike would give you some insight.
