Some reflections on a few days of driving a sharked ZHP again after 3 years: niceeeee
-Let's run down the normal Q&A with these things-
Q: Do you feel the horsies?
A: Maybe...maybe some small ponies...like definitely not actual horse-sized horsies...no...more like mini horsies...not like Lil Sebastian, though...we all know that he's larger than life...
Q: Do you feel the throttle response?
A: Boy howdy! It's still not quite throttle-cable-good, but I'm at least 15% less shitty at rev matching 2nd when turning right at an intersection. Hell, sometimes I even get it right! Hot dang!
Q: Will it blend?
A: I don't...why would I want to know that?
Q: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I NEED THE DATA FROM THE BUTT DYNO. HOW MANY HORSIES DOES YOUR SAGGY ASS READ? BE EXACT.
A: Go away.
In all seriousness, it's a very mild change, but I really like it. The throttle response is improved, but not excessive like some have reported with the pedalbox. It certainly doesn't feel like it's accelerating faster or anything. The car just seems to want to go and the only thing holding it back is me not pushing the pedal further, whereas before, the car seemed annoyed when I pressed the pedal deeper -- like I was having to coax it along.
Overall, it's a minor improvement that really made driving more enjoyable for me. Combined with adding a clutch stop and finishing the stereo/interior, I've found myself looking for excuses to drive the car and acting like a butthurt toddler when I have to go somewhere in another vehicle....I wan play wit muh toyz...
This is all I have to contribute right now.
