Default Throttle response on 2006

With the Electronic throttle units on 2006 and up, what are the owners impression. Any perceivable throttle response delay or non-linear response.

This has been a noted problem on TL, TSX, and Accord. Just wondering if Honda messed up the throttle response on this jewel of an engine. Thanks in advance

Every report I've said said owners can't even tell its there.

I had a TSX and it's very noticeable in that car. On the S2000 there is absolutely no lag at all. It's just as if it were wired like the previous ones.

I've noticed absolutely no throttle lag -- and I've been looking for it.

Instant response. No throttle lag at all.

ask LA BRITT and the guy with the white S2K, he was telling us this weekend that he can feel it hesitate for a second.

electronic signals travel within nano-seconds perhaps?

It has a lot more to do with the speed of the servo actuator on the throttle body than the signal processing; you can bet on that.

I'm guessing some cars have faster servos than others. My '99 328i had much more lag than my '03 M3.
