I recently replaced the clutch and brake pedal bushings. It make a very noticable difference in both smoothness and pressure. If you have an old Gen 1 like me I'd try that it also made it much easier to engage the engine switch.

I found one small secret to making it easy to do.

You know I never thought it was until I drove an 03 SRT. The effort was so minimal compared to my stock Gen1 set-up. Same with the accelerator. Felt like it would take some getting used to.

Remember that when Caroll Shelby designed his cars, one of his design requirements was "clutch springs so stiff a woman couldn't operate them." :)

Mine is rather easy...I think you assume that it's going to feel like a heavy non-assisted mechanical clutch when you first get behind the wheel of a Viper but the clutch in mine is, dare I say, dang near butter smooth and plush.

After a lot of hard usage, the stock clutch pedal gets stiffer. Bleeding might help a little bit, but I think something happens to the springs after so many heat cycles of too high a temperature.
