Throttle Commander, any good?
 

Has anyone used one of these? Looks kind of gimmicky but I'm curious. There's a pretty good review on Youtube.

No, waste of money. End thread.

NO! Not yet.

Back in the day they sold things like this. However, I passed and just mashed down on the gas pedal harder - ;)

OK, NOW you can end the thread - :D

Don’t lie! I know your back in the day is the same as mine. We had this strange thing called a cable that controlled the throttle. Best thing ever!

A cable?? You are a youngster. Back, back in the day we had steel rods to connect the gas pedal to the CARBURATOR!

Stirrups. /Thread.

Yep worked on pushrods also.

I took my right foot and got it calibrated for free at the dyno tuner… better throttle response now.

Oh yes, throttle linkage.

I believe what ol Grady was referring to was a manual throttle that was a knob on the dash that was connected to the carb via a cable. - :iono:

Great for setting fast idle or use as a cruise control, if you jammed a match book behind it - :D

Ecutek has custom perimeter that allows you to adjust throttle sensitivity. Played with it a bit, can only see if viable in autocross/track settings.

I figured the thing is probably just hokum, but wondered if anyone had first-hand experience with them. Back when I drove a normally aspirated 944, there was a little throttle cam device that gave you a different feel, and while it certainly didn't add any horsepower, most of his ran them.

There is a similar version for the Cayman that people actually like to use. Just has the throttle react faster. Same as pressing harder, but some people say it wakes the car up. I could see a similar effect for the twins. For me I’ll just press harder.

Well if you guys want to get into a geriatrics contest, my first serious ride was in a Kurtis Kraft-Offenhauser midget in 1958. When I was 21.
