johnc Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 "If only there were some type of "throttling" device that would allow you to reduce the power output when necessary while still allowing greater power to be delivered when it could be applied..... Maybe actuated through a "skill" type interface..." - Will Kalman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have an idea for that. I'll begin development immediately. Progress post to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Perhaps this unit could be controlled (hypothetically) with foot pressure, thus allowing the operation of a device which would allow the vehicle to change its trajectory.

johnc Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 The hardware side of this new performance device should be easy. The software side ("Skills Interface") looks to be the most difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't think users would want that. Why don't we just have a on-off switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't think users would want that. Why don't we just have a on-off switch? That device already exists. Its called "Turbo." Available everywhere in peel off sticker form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazerRackham Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) The terrible thing is I know several wanna be racer kids who would devise the exact same device. [/hateraide] Edited August 31, 2012 by MazerRackham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The skills interface would flash the ID-10-T code a lot, indicating an error between the steering wheel and the drivers seat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
