Looking for test vehicle for throttle controller

Hi i am with blitz performance and i need a honda fit for a test vehicle for the throttle controller. Its just a plug and play it only works on cars that are drive by wire. The customer can test out the product and drive on it and if he or she is intrested in it you can purchase for 40% off of msrp. Please PM me if intrested. Also to note the car has to be fairly stock or with basic bolt on and must be a southern california car. Thanks for you time.

I always thought the honda fit was factory throttle programmed for more pedal acceleration early to make the car feel sportier and faster than it really was at stock.

This can also be seen in lower than stated mpgs people are getting in their fits. It takes a feather touch on the throttle not to abuse gas.

i think there is a lot of lag in throttle response from the fit. i find it extremely annoying. hopefully this paired with the lightened flywheel i got will get rid of some of the annoying lag.

is this product supposed to diminish the lag in throttle response? it seems to be more for changing the sensitivity of the throttle to your foot's input on the gas pedal. oh well, we'll see.

edit: ooh it looks like it IS supposed to help reduce the lag in throttle response...COOL.
