Snappy for drive by wire. But I think drive by wire sucks in general.

I don't know, I haven't driven everything under the sun but the stock car does have pretty crisp throttle response to me. Not sure where you're coming from but I've had a string of turbo cars so that might be why our opinions differ.

And yeah, +1 for cable throttles. Can't beat the mechanical feel of a real throttle.
