BMW started the trend back in 1988 across sea in the 7 series, good old E32. Its benefits consist of weight reduction (there being no more cable running from the throttle bracket to the cabin), no more sticking throttle cables or the chance of one snapping on a weekend cruise, and there is a quicker response just like julio said. the computer can anticipate the signal from the potentiometers in the pedal and give the correct fuel/ timing adjustement quicker than the tps gives information. its like being one car length ahead of the guy your racing, therefore when you put the pedal to the floor, information is sent to the computer quicker via the wire.

Re: 2006 civic si
I too am liking Mazdas new cars.The 3 is a good basic car and the 6 especially the upcoming turbo version is a great car for the cost.Where is the RX7 though?The RX8 is kinda weak.Lets all hope the SUV craze dies a hard and fast death and performance like the early to md 90's comes back.

Re: 2006 civic si
I have never driven any d-b-w BMW's. I would imagine the M3 SMG you speak of does have incredible response. I guess it is all just personal preference. It's like ABS, I hate that too. :P
i absolutely agree with you there
