I don't like it because there is noticable lag in response. Plus, I don't like the idea of not having a direct connection between my foot and the TB... it's like Sky-Net in Terminator. It has already begun...

Yeah next they'll have sensors setup on the side of the road that won't let your car go over the speed limit......oh wait I forgot they're greedy. They will have sensors on the side of the road and if you speed they will mail you a ticket.

I couldn't figure out why there was this rev hang (as it's dubbed on the interweb) when I pushed in the clutch... I didn't know if it was some computer setting, flywheel weight issue or what the hell... but I've found it's due to the throttle system... if there's ever a way to do a throttle cable mod, I'm on it, lol.
