Actually my brain does it, and it's having trouble adjusting to the accelerator/throttle mapping on the Yaris.

In short, the accelerator mapping on the Yaris seems counter intuitive and tuned more for city driving in an automatic transmission car.

For example from 0% to 5% accelerator opening, there is virtually no increase in engine throttle opening (translates into no increase in RPM). But from 5% to 10% accelerator opening, there is a huge jump in throttle (rpm), feels like 25% throttle.

So when I press the accelerator, I get nothing until I hit a certain point and then get more than I want (engine flare). This makes launching in first gear more of a thought process than I'd like.

I'm hoping that these throttle controllers make the accelerator-to-throttle mapping (i.e. rpm) more linear and less "laggy"/"flarey".

Hope that makes sense...
