Quick question:  Do you REALLY want a computer controlling your throttle 
position?  Face it, a throttle cable (or linkage) and return spring is
a pretty reliable, and proven, system.  It might make things a bit interesting
if the computer decided that the throttle plate was at idle position when it
really was at WOT.  And besides, what is wrong with a bit of lead footing?
Next thing you know, you will be suggesting a built-in traction control 
system!  ;)  Actually, I like the idea of being able to use a traction 
control.  It would come in real handy on ice.  I just want to be able to 
choose WHEN it does its traction control thing.  Later.
