Default DBW Question

So I've been lurking on the site for a few months...
I'm looking at getting a 06 s2k and it will be my first car with a MT. I've been driving Automatics for 15 years and figured its time to Learn how to DRIVE!

My quest is not to have a car that drives for me, but i wouldn't mind if the CPU and the DBW will help me not stall out in my early days in a new MT car.

Any insight on the CPU DBW keeping the car reving at low RPMs?

Thanks!

No, the DBW won't help you. It behaves just like a cable throttle.

IMO this car is very hard to stall unless you have no idea how to drive a manual. The throttle is so responsive that I find myself over revving when starting off rather than bogging. When switching between my S and my other car I tend to bog my other car because I'm used to the hyper sensitive throttle on the S. Then when going back to the S its the opposite.

Thats good to hear about the throttle being sensitive.

Food for Thought:
why would you think a car with so much computer power with VSC, DBW, ABS....allow the engine to stall at all?
Its not advantagious to ever let the car stall so why not protect it from stalling at all?

thanks for the reply

Probably safety. A bad driver quite possibly isn't being helped by extra throttle in an unintentional spin.
