Me too.You know, in order to produce some result out of this thread, let's do this test.

In neutral(whether you have auto/manual transmission) press quickly the gas pedal to the end(until it reaches the ground) and release it immediately.Watch the revs and post them here.

I did that and it reaches simultaneously 2500rpm, which is very good, if we take into consideration that the gas is electric.

About 2,800 rpm

the throttle lag and pedal placement make it impossible for me to properly heal-teo it. pisses me off, i've allways heal-toed my cars but i just can't on this one.

dngz · 09-13-2006, 09:48 PM

yea, i find that the gas pedal comes out a bit more than the brake pedal on my car making it awkward to heal toe too

Pars · 09-13-2006, 11:57 PM

I stopped doing heal-toe on the streets since my old CRX (I've tamed down a bit from those days of old). But rev matching is second nature to me. And the thruttle responce on the manual makes it difficult to be smooth. I think most of the problem could be solved if the accelerator was a little more responsive when punching it in neutral (in order to match the Revs when downshifting).

I'll punch the accelerator at the same time as I go down on the clutch, but I do it so quickly, that the revs are just starting to climb by the time I'm already off the clutch and in gear. Which kinda sucks, cause since the Rev's aren't matching, the clutch and the syncro are taking the load and getting abused. If only the accelerator was able to do it's job...

I did 300,000km on my old Manual Civic and sold it with the original clutch which was still going strong (syncro's were also in great condition). At the rate I'm going now, If I don't get the accelerator to respond more quickly (or slow things down...which is not an option), my Yaris's tranny wont last.

That's strange cause in mine the brake pedal comes out a bit more than the gas pedal!

dngz · 09-14-2006, 05:55 PM

hehe, if my gas comes out more, does that mean i get go faster?? LOL jkjkjk...

Unfortunately no...

The throddle respones makes it difficult for me to do heel toe and other performance driving techniques. It also mess me up when I get back in my subaru. I no longer do this kind of driving.

I go for mileage. If I want to really burn some fuel (15-18 mpg) I will drive my subaru.

Katana · 09-15-2006, 09:00 AM

Wish I was so lucky to drive a boxer engine Scooby!

paultyler_82 · 09-15-2006, 06:28 PM

The only Scooby I would ever drive would be a 3.0 Boxer 6... damn you Subaru for taking this engine away from the Legacy sedans.

boxerboy · 09-16-2006, 03:39 PM

2.5 Built boxer engine. mild 400 whp.

lots of fun

fred812 · 09-17-2006, 12:07 PM

I have Major lag of the engine on decell it wants to keep revin after I pull foot of gas, getting used to it. And a few hundred miles it has gotten alot better!

Katana · 09-17-2006, 02:05 PM

It depends.The japanese engine is better after the 3500rpm.

SimmZ · 09-17-2006, 08:44 PM

Well. Today I drive my mom's brand new Matrix XR for a pretty long ride and I assume it was also "drive-by-wire" because the gas pedal is very "slutchy", unprecise and it have lag. I really dislike the feeling of the gas pedal cause there's no feeling of the engine throught the gas pedal and the throttle response is slow.

Katana · 09-18-2006, 03:27 AM

Unfortunately, most of the new cars are drive by wire...

jouslee · 01-21-2007, 07:52 PM

so is there any fix for this problem?
