Unfortunately it's a symptom of engineers having to design a car that suits 200,000 people's driving styles so you end up with a compromise.
I particularly dislike how the DBW throttle operates on VF Commodore it's absolutely horrible with a huge dead zone and delay to minor throttle inputs but it can be improved markedly if you're that way inclined.
I'm pretty sure it was used in the FPV GS to only give it 315KW - 100% pedal didn't equal throttle plate open 100% it would only open the throttle plate at a maximum angle rather than all the way. |
Yep you can tweak the throttle response with all these little electronic gizmos (I've got one on my ute you can have them as responsive as you want) but what they can't speed up is throttle off and it's a real PIA if you like manuals
