I noticed on our 6 the electrinc throttle seems to lag like a half sec or so all the time. Its a bit annoying... hows the throttle on the RX8?

Vince bassik277 08-05-2003, 08:48 PM very good Kawi 08-05-2003, 08:49 PM Exactly, almost instant response. Step on it and go. Plus power delivery is extremely smooth. P00Man 08-05-2003, 08:51 PM virtually instant, youd never know that it isnt instant, at least that was my impression ________ Infant Nexium (http://www.classactionsettlements.org/lawsuit/nexium/) Spin9k 08-05-2003, 09:10 PM Instant, I feel like it always wants to go faster.... wonderful and edgy feeling. :) seikx8 08-05-2003, 09:16 PM Electronic throttle? I don't even notice :D, neither did my co-workers test driving it, not untill I told them so. Wing 08-05-2003, 09:30 PM Same feeling here. But I find if I want a quick start I have to let the clutch out at 3000 RPM or it seems to "think" about moving first. Kap 08-06-2003, 01:04 AM I can concur with pr0ber on the throttle response of the 6 as I've been driving my mom's 6. It definately seems like it takes about half a second for it to kick it when you push it down, as opposed to my 8 which responds nearly instantaneously. m477 08-06-2003, 10:33 AM Have any of you guys with 8's ever driven a Miata? How does the throttle response compare? Out of all the cars I've driven, I've found that Miatas definitely have the best response, if the RX-8 feels similar to this, I'd be very impressed. :cool: blizz81 08-06-2003, 10:38 AM Are the 6/6s cited with laggy throttle here automatics, or manuals? I would assume the latter, but... Kuf 08-06-2003, 02:20 PM Originally posted by m477 Have any of you guys with 8's ever driven a Miata? How does the throttle response compare?

The 8 feels much much more responsive. It has a Cheeta-waiting-to-be-let-out-of-a-cage feeling. Just a slight amount of pressure and it lurches forward, begging you to push harder.

Another Miata driver told me to pop the hood and he showed me the slack in the cable linkage...said it was all too common. After a little adjustment, the throttle response was significantly better!:D So, the "6" driver may want to check the linkage near the throttle body as he doesn't have an electronic throttle as far as I know. |
