i dunno if its jsut my SC300 but it seems like the gas pedal is hard to press, is this normal or is my pedal messed up?

 

Id check the throttle cable in the engine bay and make sure its not getting caught on anything. Also check the play on the throttle plate. There may be some deposits blocking the plate from moving freely. Pull the intake hose and spray some carb cleaner in there. That should do the trick.
