If the servo gave 2:1 assistance & the car was 1/2 the weight, then not having the servo would result in the same weight pedal but with a bit less lost motion.
I think servos are usually 2.5 or 3 : 1 and the car's a bit more than 1/2 the weight so you end up having to press a bit harder

But you can compensate for this by changing the lever ratio.

Not having a servo gives a great improvement in feel.
