No

Don't insure them. Get a ph1 same, only 15kg heavier, and easier to insure. Plus cable throttle mmmmmmmm.

Why is a cable throttle such an advantage?not a challenge but a question. everyone says that a throttle cable is better (even this months performance french cars mag) but why are they better?

The response is quicker, and the power delivery feels different. My ph1 feels like an animal compared to my ph2's.

 

[teeCup]

is it noticeably quicker to respond then? is it true that a fly-by-wire throttle can override what you do with your right foot? i read somewhere that say for example you were driving up a steep hill at 20mph in 5th that the computer on the car would ignore you flooring the accelerator pedal?

Driving my 106 Cable and corsa FBW, i'd say it was almost dangerous, corsa had a very noticeable delay before opening up.
