has anyone had an issue with response time from the Vibe's DBW throttle?Quote »If those milliseconds you've been losing at stop lights have really been eating at you, the surge you need will run you $330 plus tax.

its a waste of time, dbw was made to work better than a cable and i doubt GM/toyota would make one that lagged with any noticeable amount, all u have to do is adapt yourself to how u want to drive, if u need to get the rpms a bit higher then press harder and sooner, walla done

I've never experienced any throttle issues on either one of our Vibes or our Saturn Vue. Must be a Benz/BMW thing.
