Well you guys were right. I took the pedal off and found the dumbest mod of all time, the Spirit Booster. Now the pedal is very docile and easy to drive. Looks like I have a part to sell on ebay. Thanks for your help!

And best of all, your car is still just as fast! You just have to push your pedal a little further. Some moron will buy it right here on this very forum. Throw it in the classifieds section for $180

Use the money to get an RPI scoop and a BMC air filter from Michael@Acute Performance - at least that way you'll definitely be gaining a few horses

Haha glad to see this problem resolved! I bought my car with the sprint booster on it and had a heckuva hard time starting in first. Took it off and then it drove like a dream.
