stiff gas pedal

[DRobb's_85]

Is everybody's gas pedal stiff compared to newer cars and trucks? Everytime I drive my dads 04 f150, or any newer car for that matter, the pedal is usually way easier to depress than my 85's. In turn, it makes my truck feel slow and unresponsive, even though I'm sure its just from having to put more pressure on the pedal to depress it. I just love how easy it is to summon downshifts and to get up to speed compared to mine. I know that theres a huge difference with the newer cars being fuel injected, and throttle by wire, but still, maybe I just have a stiff throttle return spring?
