I've driven four w124s--one with a four-cylinder, and three with sixes.
All of them seem to have this heavy throttle spring, or
something--when I push gently on the throttle while stopped, nothing
happens, then, as I press harder, the car (with my uneducated foot?)
surges forward.

I'm assuming one gets used to this, as I don't hear people complaining
about it.

I've never driven a w124 with a v8 (400e/e420).  Do these feel the same
way?

Thank you,

Mike

Could just be the way the cable is adjusted.  I think my 1986 190e also
has a slight dead spot in the gas peddle before throttle actuation.
This is something you get used to and don't even think about after a
couple of days.
