Default For the OCD out there -- throttle pedal spring?

Something w/our new 2017 Cayenne S is bugging me a bit. In general, I find the relationship between the throttle & brake to be a bit hard to adjust to. I end up contorting my right leg in ways that get uncomfortable.

but, that isn't the specific question/point here. I find the super soft spring on the throttle pedal to be really annoying. I have to "pull" my foot up slightly in order to maintain speed, and my feet aren't that big. So, rather than gentle downward pressure like every other car I've had, it's super, super light.

Anyone else noticed this? Can anyone comment on pedal pressure on the sportier models? I'm wondering if they sprung the S for the ladies and the GTS/Turbo for men?

Interested in any/all thoughts.

Mine is normal. I want to go faster, I press harder.

I bounce back and forth between my Carrera and the Cayenne. The Cayenne's gas pedal was definitely calibrated for folks with smaller more delicate feet. I wish I could replicate the feel of the Carrera's pedal...

I may go sit in a few GTS' and Turbos to see if my theory holds.
