Speed Limiter
Today I was driving on cruise control and I streched out my feet and noticed that there is a little **** (almost like a door stop) that limits how far you can depress the peddle...
Has anyone tried removing it?? If so were there any significant results??

Re: That is interesting. I have noticed that too, and....
at a fully depressed pedal, I thought..."Is that it?" "I have this thing floored, what's up with that?". I have noticed that a lighter foot seems to accelerate better. Seems to kick in the turbo better. Rather builds up the turbo instead of bogging it down.
