Hi guys,
Having only owned my car for a week or so, I'm wading through a myriad of small issues to sort it out. It's a bit difficult being on the other side of the World, but with the help of the members here I'm sure I'll get by.
One really annoying thing is the weight of the accelerator pedal. It's really heavy to push and is actually painful to drive with over any sort of distance as I find that I'm pushing so hard and with the out side of my foot from the little toe down, part of the foot that doesn't get a lot of pressure and load in day to day life.
I find it interesting that the linkage attaches directly to the pedal, rather than ta another arm somewhere, and I'm suprised at this as there is no mechanical advantage offered by the pedal, just a direct feed to the cable and carby.
Do you guys also have heavy gas pedals? Or do I have an issue?
I got out of the Pantera and into my old Testarossa and could barely drive it. Every time I hit the gas I launched the Ferrari as the gas pedal is so light and the thrtottle response so snappy. I feel like I need two legs on the Pantera gas pedal and there certainly is no snappy throttle response from that car.
