Your car was tuned right? Maybe they tuned the throttle sensitivity. Are your gears changed?

Yes, maybe, felt the same way stock really. So decided to see if anyone else's car has the "lets go!" mentality.

Mine is very sensitive! I went from driving a lexus ls430 to this and wow the slightest touch when I first started driving it would make it jump but now im use to it and barely press it in. It is annoying sometimes though seeing as how I just got mine in jan I still give it to much gas initially sometimes

Mine has the exact same issue; so much so in fact I'm going to see if it can be tuned back some. After installing the VMAX ported throttle body, cam and lighter flywheel/clutch, the throttle is almost like an on/off switch. It makes it very difficult to drive it slow. I had trouble with it while on the track going around tricky, twisty curves because just the slightest touch of the pedal wanted to gun it way more than what I wanted.

Mine does not feel sensitive (to me) at all... Seems very normal to me... But I think years of kart racing with an extremely touchy throttle may have given me super light foot control powers

You guys do know that your tuner (assuming you have one) can modify this right? There are tables in the computer that relate throttle pedal position to throttle opening rate.

I actually find that my L99 is perfect at low throttle positions and I wish it were more aggressive around the mid pedal area.

^ Agree and have an LS3 ^

The tip in on these things in either version is pretty aggressive compared to my 2007 C6. The throttle was much more linear in that and didn't feel as if 50% and beyond was the same.

I personally would prefer a more linear response. If I push the pedal down 25%, I want 25% power. I like the feel much more now than when it was stock, though. When stock, it was like I'd press it a lot before much of anything would happen. Now, it takes very little throttle to get the car to blast off.
