Default Gas pedal too soft for me.

Hi guys. I am a new owner and with a soft gas pedal, I find it tires the foot. Is it analog or digital to begin with? Can I firm it up?

I have that problem with nearly every car I drive. My foot tends to press more than "normal" or something, so I either have to physically hold it up or rest it on the trans tunnel carpet which holds fairly well. Not on ALL cars though, some are just miserable.
I've not had to do it yet, but if I need to in the future I'll hook some sort of spring to somewhere to hold something. I'm sure it varies hugely among vehicles as to where that would be, but it has to be possible someway.
I'll watch this thread!

So you have an excuse to go too fast? ;-)
Had the same on some cars, a spring and often be added to fix it.
In my XKR I found the angle all wrong and took it out (easy), cut it and welded together. That gave me some extra space, and made my foot more relaxed.

Yes No Quarter, I may have to mess with it. Did you notice if it is connected to the throttle body with a steel wire or an electrical wire?
