Question Gas Pedal Question

Has anyone noticed that the gas pedal in much lower to the floor board than the brake pedal in the SC 430? It is definitely different from my other cars. It appears to take more pressure to press the gas pedal and leading to some fatigue in my foot. Is this just me and I need time to adjust as my other cars are a GS 300 and '02 Accord. Thanks

I noticed that it was quite low and in addition I found it unsightly. I replaced it with a Sparko pedal set in metal which did bring it up slightly,

I found that the gas pedal does get some getting used to. If I haven't driven the car for a while, I sit there gradually pressing down on the damn thing wondering when something is going to happen. After a few minutes of driving, I don't even notice it any longer.

I never noticed that my car had an "unsightly" pedal. In fact, I never noticed the pedal much at all. Usually, my foot, which definitely IS unsightly (and large to boot), is covering it.

boy do I feel like a youngster.... I have at least 35+ years left to work before retirement...


...unless I win the lottery I never play, my stocks skyrocket... or I make tons of money presenting the next ebay... so I can retire early in my 30's! LOL

I bet if you went a few years without buying cars, you'd be able to retire a whole lot sooner !
