No cable,just a couple of wires going from the pedal to the electric motor on the TB,that is throttle-by-wire.Which makes it easier for ESP(the devil) to take control of how you drive.

On my 2007, there's definitely a lag. I've gotten used to it and don't even notice it, but at first it was annoying. The other annoying thing (not that it's a huge deal) is that if you rev it, it takes FOREVER to slow back to idle.

My wife's 2005 G6 has drive-by-wire and you'd never know. Very responsive.

All 5.7's(so called HEMI,which it is not) is throttle-by-wire.

Heh, funny you said that. the 3.7L / 4.7L is just as much a Hemi as the 5.7L "Hemi" is. Neither have 100% hemispherical combustion chambers, only partially.

Troy...never really realized the 5.7s were TBW

Do you mean TV cable as in the kickdown for a 700R4 or TV cable as in a coaxial cable (Aeh)(Aeh)(Aeh)(Aeh)

Ram isn't throttle by wire until 06 ITBJRC

Ehhhhhhhh, wrong answer, all 5.7 hemis are fly by wire.

 

[04Liberty]

Yours only tops out at 105mph? Mine cuts out at 114mph(I also top speed test every vehicle at least once,scary in a Jeep,fun in a muscle car).

Yup. The Ram only has a 120 speedo though, so once I removed the limited (which was also 105), it will pin it. I just didn't have a GPS the last time I tried to see how fast I was actually going. Wish they made a programmer for the Libby's.

Good thing you said that after Troy straightened it out already

 

[offroadohio]

According to my speedo mine dies out at 118. I to like to test top speed atleast once in the things I buy.

Good thing I don't spend my every waking moment here....

The problems with Toyotas isn't just related to the pedal design, it's also the electronics and software. Though Toyota won't admit to that yet.

For the past 3-4 years Toyota concentrated on quantity instead of quality. My neighbor has a 2009 corolla and my god it's cheaply made. Cheapo flimsy plastics. Just give the bumper a slight kick and it falls off lol.

Never been a fan of Asian cars...never will be.

I never wanted to drive around in a Asian car wondering what is wrong with the economy. Remember the bumper sticker? - "Hungry? Eat Your Import"

I am sure glad that we have a regular throttle cable not fly by wire, after the latest news today/Toyota fiasco.
Could the KK's fly by wire be effected by Electromagnetic problems??

Accelerates with brakes applied: http://www.freep.com/article/20100128/BUSINESS01/1280424/1331/
Do not see any listing for Chrysler vehicles listed as having these issues.
Anyone know if KK's have braking safety measures in place like BMW or Mercedes for example?

Fly-by-wire, just like the airforce and airliners have been using for years.

Of course what this means is that you should stow all electronic devices such as laptops or music players and turn off all cell phones during your drive...

The difference is that this is a ground based unit, does not fly, but could be sensitive to Emi-EFi and dont drive near ships radar or the Airport where radar is strong.
I wonder what happens if a cop points a radar gun at a Lexus? LOL.
