I'm so torn...I was going to re-engage with "doctorate dude" (and I reserve my right to do that later) but now this thread has actually turned into something useful and interesting - a discussion of the PC - and that sucks because, ideally, that should be done in the other PC thread - you know the one that the OP didn't look for or post in.
OK, so here goes, my perception of the PC and its performance is not similar to just mashing on the skinny pedal so I don't agree with the comment that mashing on the go pedal is the same thing. I say that because the response is, IMO, more instantaneous, more immediate with the PC than without it and just flooring the accelerator.
To me the PC is all about response - getting performance much faster than jumping on the go pedal.
Again, this is all my PERCEPTION, but I'm very happy with the PC because it works way better than pushing the pedal to the floor or thereabouts.
Well your right about the perception part. However from a technical standpoint the truth is that full throttle is the same for both. The PC is in fact a "perception " device. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Anything that someone puts on a vehicle that improves their perception of performance delivered by said vehicle and or drivability thereof is more than understandable and probably money well spent. I just prefer my gadgets offer something more tangible than perception tho. Free country right?
