Yeah, I know. Maybe I should have an 'edit' button on me (instead of 'sport'). People should just read my sleeve 'cuz that's where the feelings can be found. >I guess Sport Throttle is one of those things that works differently for >different people. Ok. I just wish it did something other than mimic a nautilus scroll on a mechanical linkage like some other marque vehicles out there w/really low hp -- makes the car feel 'quick' off the line for better sales. To me it's lipstick for a pig, nothing more. >Full throttle is still full throttle, so if your student >is mashing the pedal, the results should not be much different. That's just it, they aren't mashing the throttle, just tipping in a bit. With the 'sport' button activated you get roughly 50 percent throttle at 10 percent tip in. They don't have the talent to modulate the throttle that well (don't even get me started on how much fun this is over bumps...). >Nevertheless, I think we'd be in agreement that it would be nice if that button was a dial instead. As long as the dial goes up to 11, I'm ok with it. ;-) Gimme one for ABS and traction control too and we are getting somewhere! =8^O Cheerfully submitted for your entertainment, Kirk Lachman Sin City Chapter
