Soft Gas Pedal

[Bluvenm97]

I've had the 97 GTS for a few months now, and still can't get used to the soft gas pedal. Sometimes it feels like my foot isn't resting on anything, it makes it a little harder to get a good feel for the car. I tried driving it with just socks on, and it felt better, more "connected".

Am I crazy? Anyone else feel this, and is there a way to remedy it? I guess I'm just used to a firmer feeling pedal, which to me is easier to modulate.

I've heard you get more feel for the car by driving without ANY clothes!

You aren't crazy, there is very little pedal resistance. I am just getting used to my car, but it helps to make sure your legs are as extended as possible by adjusting the pedals. I note the clutch requires only an inch or so of depression, so don't adjust for full clutch compression. Just my approach so far. I will also check with Archer to see if there is a diff spring or something. Jim

Thanks Jim.. I knew I wasn't crazy....

I think I made a comment once about driving the Viper and having my foot hurt due to holding it back for a long period of time. Now I know why

After taking my Stealth out of storage each year, my leg would hurt from depressing a stiff clutch pedal. After 10 years, I got used to it. Now I'll have to do foot exercises to strengthen my ankle before spring

SVSi make a nice pedal kit which removes the articulation from the throttle pedal and makes it more direct. I like it....check it out....its nicely made
