I think part of the problem is that most people don't like pushing the accelerator down more than a quarter of the way, half-way at the most. They're only going to use 100 HP, but they want a 300 HP motor in their Exploder so they can get all the power they want with just a 3/4" movement of the right foot. I've noticed that in many Japanese cars I've driven this problem seems to be "solved" by designing in a nonlinear relationship between the accelerator and the throttle, so that maximum power is, in fact, available with only the slightest movement of the pedal. Of course, this creates its own set of problems. Alex Chamberlain '87 300D Turbo '93 Isuzu Trooper
