What's with the plastic gas pedal?
Why make two pedals aluminum and one plastic? Seems like a really weird place to cheap out, 2/3 through a job like that, so I'm thinking there must be some other reason.
Anyone know?

i'm sure if you put the FC's pedal and the FD's pedal on the scale, you'd see why

I'll give you the brake, but I'm not really sure I press the clutch any harder than the gas. It's a finesse pedal, not a stomp pedal. Really, so is the brake most of the time, but it can end up with higher pressure.

Argh, thank you for showing me that, but its such a strange clue. Didn't a lot (like almost all) of contemporary and modern cars have plastic pedal assemblies? So if plastic was lighter they could have made them all plastic. If the aluminum was a styling detail why not do them all that way?
It's just odd to me. Never seen a car with mixed alum and plastic pedals.
