Didn't some of the IS300 guys install washers in the back of their gas pedals to eliminate the same kind of throttle lag?

I swear I read something like that before.

from 1sick's review of the 430 vs 400

Initial Acceleration
GS 400, with the non electrical gas pedal, throttle response is felt immediately in comparison to the GS 430. I noticed I have to brake launch more in the GS 430 when it is time to burn rubber. The GS 430 does have the electronic throttle.

I think this product is designed to make electronic throttles in cars like the 430 feel more lively like the throttle cable of cars like the 400. There are similar parts for the subaru wrx and many other cars.

Many of the MB guys use this. You can almost mimic the behavior by developing a lead foot. Jeff described the behavior very well.

I bought one and installed it in my wifes 03 GS430 .
It is the one upgrade the car should have come with from the factory .
It works !
The car now move when I want it to and not when it thinks its ready.
I'll post up a thread with vid when I get a chance to edit it.

She drives the same way as before ,pressing on the gas all the time.

IT DOES MAKE THE CAR FASTER !.
