i like having a dum car where they still use wires


he he he.

I was actually pretty shocked when I found out that the throttle linkup is fly by wire.... It's not a direct connection. The gas pedal feeds an actuator, that the computer works off of. Then, dependant on the throttle position, it opens the gas, adjusts the fuel map, etc. Plus, it also looks at the rate of change on the throttle position, and adjusts the transmission responsiveness. Slowly apply the gas... it acts one way... Punch the pedal, and the transmission jumps about 4 gears.

It's cool.

Downside.... MB in the USA doesn't even have the OPTION of an indash CD player. Tape only. You want CD's, buy the $900 changer.

I wouldn't guess that one of Empeg's OEM customers was MB.....
