"With regard to brake / throttle tie in, there isn't one at present time.. It's being talked about as another way to fail safe all drive by wire throttle systems, if brakes and throttle are applied at the same time, the ECU kills the input to the throttle.."

>>>*Thanks, Dandeman! I guess I really didn't understand what they were talking about with the modern braking systems.

*So it's actually pedal travel that engages the electric motor recovery, not a computer? That seems lots better.

I don't quite understand how hitting a bump could affect the braking but the reports are that this is what happens.

*Our GM system on the Impala SS does something odd if we hit a bump, on heavy braking the Stabiltrac light blinks on and the pedal drops an inch or so. Unnerving the first time it happened, but I think it's the antilock system coming in.

That is a weird feeling, almost as bad as the zero effect of letting off the gas, the thing just keeps going, the feel is almost like it actually speeds up. It took me quite a long time to learn to let off the gas partway first, then brake when going into any tight turns.

The sensation is slightly similar to a stuck throttle, then the instinct is to over brake when make the machine feel like it wants to go into a push. I wonder if that is what some people experience as the throttle hanging up?

I just drive it like I would a fast race car, float the throttle, then tease the brakes gradually instead of coming down against compression and then braking. The feeling when driving it like a RWD is insecurity, the engine RPM's are all over the place.

*Transmission releasing to save fuel, I guess....*EB
