Extra Half Inch

[Toypop]

Silly me, I have done 1100 miles in my car and only tonight did I discover that extra half inch of travel in the throttle if you push it down hard after that click.

What I want to know (it was hard to tell) is does pushing the throttle past that point give you any extra performance or not?

As far as i know its the overide for the speed limiter.

Yeah I figured it was something to do with that which is why I wondered if going past that point would make any difference when not using the limiter. To go past that point doesnt feel natural so I cant imagine Renault setting the throttle up so that you have to go past that point to get 100%.

Its just an override for the cruise control/speed limiter.

Its definately not. it does give a little more performance for sure. the overide for the speed limiter is just like kickdown on an auto box.. just stab the trottle.



evo mag mentioned this in last months issue... the extra travel does make a difference

1/2 inch makes all the difference!
