Curious on the constant throttle angle with just boost changes for the different modes.
I love the smoothness of my sport mode shifting and throttle, can find S# just a little too twitchy at the low speeds.
Do you have the throttle set more sport or S# Benny?

Well I'm enjoying "S#" more than ever now it's a viable option for my limited driving skills and formerly slippy clutch :)

This DBW tune will reduce the big jump in pedal feel between "S" and "S#" modes...
But that's totally the point.
It feels plentifully frisky at 12psi and is still bordering on hectic at 15 :D

As the modes progress, the car just feels more responsive and fast, as opposed to feeling artificially more responsive and fast.

It's perfect, no longer having to be aware, conscious or considerate of an acutely more twitchy accelerator pedal.

This will come down to personal choice, I know many wouldn't even remotely consider such a "downgrade", which is perfectly OK of course :)

I'd imagine autos might benefit from some aspect of this too but I'm no expert ;)
Things to do with requested torque and stall points etc...

It certainly sounds like something I would prefer to the standard.

As you said, it's a HUGE leap between the modes currently, and can be unsettling at times that's for sure.
Will be in touch with Matt to give it a shot :good:

Hmm, interesting. I think I'd prefer my current setup though.
But I'll have a think about it. I do admit that changing modes requires a conscious change in accelerator foot/pedal movement. When I forget to do that, it ends in embarrassing almost 'learner-driver' like driving lol (maybe not quite that bad, but you get the idea).

I understand that the customer base for tasmania is no where near as large as the mainland and this is a business but straight out, will there be a tassie trip or not?

Its ok to say no, i can go else where but i dont really want to be waiting another 3 months for confirmation before my car moves.

Yes, Cynner, yourself and a few others are on the list. Its actually been a case of organising flights down to conincide with everyone being home etc. Mozza from USS has me booked in for 4 or 5 cars as well

Hey Matt,

this may be a bit of late notice, but is there any chance you can squeeze my 08 Lib GT in on the 2nd or 3rd in Perth? Any time suits me

I think this will be my 3rd revision from you..

Cheers
