    Default Commodore throttle spring differences

    I have a VR executive and the throttle pedal return spring tension is very light and very easy to push the pedal and control.
    I have just bought a VX II SS V8 and the pedal is really hard to push down and therefore harder to keep at a nice steady speed, it is either to much and not enough.
    My son's VT is also hard to push, is there a difference in the springs between models and can the springs be changed easily?
    Or
    Am I just geting too old

    Yeah the VS's have light throttle springs and they certainly are a lot better. I'm not sure if they can be exchanged tho.

    I'm also not sure if it actually from the throttle body also. If thats what you mean.
