S2000 06 / 08 Throttle Lag?

**bADbOYz** · 05-07-2009 07:49 PM

Hi there.

Performed a search, however a lot of stuff came up that wasn't relevant to the direct question.

I understand the 06 - 08 S2000's are drive by wire, however how responsive is the throttle? If it's anything like the Suzuki Swift Sport, which is about as responsive as Paris Hilton after a massive night, I'll be turned off greatly.

Thanks

It's actually pretty good. however still not like cable throttle though. There's a slight delay between quick gearchanges.

Run a ground wire directly from the -ve of the battery to some where on the throttle body (preferably not on a sensor bolt).

Itll bring up the response a touch. =]

If you intend to buy one theres a real simple solution, take one for a test drive. Everyone's gonna have a different opinion best to find out first hand.

i highly agree with WhiteAP1. after driving many cars with fly-by wire (from all subaru modles -> euro cars) the 'lag' in each car is different. some cars you can feel it, some you cant. Then it is different again for each individual in each of the different cars. At the end of the day if you dont like the feel of the fly-by wire, by a s2k with cable =D

You can improve it by purchashing a Buddy club item which is like $750, in saying that drive by wire is in most new cars so its not something the manufacturers are going to change any time soon for emission reasons. Every thing is going electronic...
