I'd be willing to bet that modern throttle by wire systems have some inhibits 
in them.  Like they close the throttle when the brake is firmly depressed, 
when out of gear, etc.  They may even have some protections that physically 
connected systems do not.
Do you guys keep your hand on the key when the cruise control is engaged?  
Its potentially a bigger liability than a well done throttle by wire system.
